* MysteriousPast: The audience is told barely anything about Satya's life prior to coming to Mumbai. Mhatre's question on where he comes from gets a response of "does it matter?". He tells Vidya he is an orphan, but beyond that, he might have as well sprung up from the ground near the railway station at the start.

* MoodWhiplash: Given the movie's depiction of both the violent business and the personalities of the gangsters, several scenes whip from serious to light-hearted and back again.
** While driving Satya home from his release-from-jail party, Bhiku boisterously brags about his clout with Bollywood directors, telling the story of how he intimidated a director into hiring one of his buddies. Even when giving Satya a gun, he is still clearly in a jocular mood. Then he suddenly stops the car, and informs Satya, his voice now utterly sober and serious, that Jagga is in the nearby restaurant, and tells him to "do what he has to do".
** The interrogation of the mook from the construction site shootout starts out completely serious, with the gang enacting ColdBloodedTorture on him to get him to reveal who sent him to kill them, culminating with Bhiku nearly [[EyeScream shoving a spike into his eye]] before he reveals that it was [[spoiler:Guru Narayan]], and the gang's being in absolute shock. As Kallu asks Yeda to find their whereabouts, Chander and Bapu see Vidya buying vegetables from a roadside vendor, and calls Satya, who sees her and immediately leaves to talk to her. The next few minutes are the guys all gossiping about Satya's love life and teasing the younger members about finding girls for themselves; when Satya comes back, everyone has shit-eating grins before he insists on not discussing this topic, which Bhiku backs.

''Satya'' (lit. Truth, though it is also a ProtagonistTitle) is a 1998 gangster drama directed by Ram Gopal Varma and written by Anurag Kashyap and Saurabh Shukla, and the first film in Varma's ThematicSeries called the "gangster trilogy", followed by Film/{{Company}} and Film/{{D}}. Considered by many to be one of the greatest Indian films of all time, it tells the story of the eponymous immigrant (JD Chakravarthy) into Mumbai and his foray into the Mumbai underworld, befriending local goon Bhiku Mhatre (Manoj Bajpayee), finding love with his neighbour Vidya (Urmila Matondkar), and getting tied up into the machinations of bigger gangsters and politicians.
Proposed by its director as "put[ting] [[Literature/TheFountainhead Howard Roark]] in the Mumbai underworld", and made on a budget of just ₹20 million (~$485,000 by 1998 exchange rates), Satya became a massive success, earning about 7-8 times its budget at the box office and serving as a StarMakingRole for most of the actors working in it - of the main cast, only Matondkar had been a major name prior - as well as its team, especially its writers and director. Satya's bleak, unglamourous and realistic portrayal of the Mumbai underworld, as well as Bajpayee's iconic performance as Bhiku Mhatre, have given it a lasting legacy, influencing almost every Indian gangster film released after it.

When Mhatre gives him a gun and takes him to the restaurant where Jagga hangs out, Satya, having (presumably) never killed a man before, takes seconds to walk out, shoot Jagga in the head and walk back out.
