Rajeev
Rajeev’s filmography is kinda all over the place, in the best way. You look at Kaakki Sattai (1985) and you’ve got this wild cop drama, right? Packed with the gritty stuff—street chases, that old-school moral dilemma, a hero who’s too honest for his own good, and the classic “bad guys in fancy suits” routine. The 80s style is just everywhere, from the hair to the soundtrack. It’s got that whole “one man against the world” energy, but with some surprisingly funny moments thrown in, too.
Fast forward to Ustaad (1999), and wow, the vibes shift. Rajeev jumps into this intense underworld thriller—think gang rivalries, betrayals, and just enough melodrama to keep you hooked even if you’re only half paying attention. The stakes are sky high, everyone’s got a secret, and Rajeev’s character is basically walking a tightrope between loyalty and survival. There’s a bit of that raw, late-90s action grit—fight scenes aren’t polished, but honestly, that’s half the charm.
Then you’ve got Udayam (2004), which kinda blends family drama with a touch of suspense. Not as flashy as the other two, but with more emotional pull. Rajeev’s stuck in this mess of complicated relationships, old grudges, and, of course, a big reveal that changes everything. It’s slower, more about the feels than the fists, and gives Rajeev space to show off the subtler side of his acting chops. So yeah, the dude’s got range—cop dramas, gangland chaos, and messy family sagas.
