Ram Gopal Varma’s Company closely followed the release of Satya. Company is an epic saga of the rise and fall of a criminal cartel and the men and women who ran it. The film is based loosely on Dawood’s highly publicized friendship and conflicts with Hindu gangster Chota Rajan. Unlike Satya, Company takes a macro view of the international crime scene, constructing a modern epic about crime as a capitalist enterprise. For Varma, Satya’s narrative strategy was to play out a film in which the creators moved with the gangsters at the street level. In Company, Varma wanted a perspective that emerged from the top of or outside the frame. Satya developed a low-angle approach that tried to stay in the middle of the action. Company has a clear design, a philoso- phy, and an aerial perspective.34 “Satya grips you by the throat and sucks you into the narrative. It deals with characters who are uneducated. It’s like the difference between Goodfellas and Godfather. Satya gives you an adrenaline rush that Company doesn’t. In Company the viewer is detached.”
