Movie: Rangrezz Rating: 4/5Rangrezz is simply a movie of such a grandeur that it deserves to be praised.I really liked this film as it touched my heart and also filled me with a lot of bravery and inspired me to be Rangrezz.If I would completely review this movie,I won't be able to describe in words.This is a movie with a social message for everyone, especially the youth.Although the film is a remake of The Tamil super hit Naadodigal,the film has the capacity to stand alone as a film.The music, performances, action, cinematography, VFX are all wonderful.That might add up to the reason why you should watch this movie .On the whole,Rangrezz is a perfectly made movie that deserves a watch by all.Go!Be Rangrezz!
... View MoreAdapted from the Tamil film Naadodigal, 'Rangrezz' is a fairly interesting film, that has glimpses of power, but they aren't many either. An erratic Screenplay plays a spoilsport. 'Rangrezz' Synopsis: A lower-middle-class boy from Mumbai, drives to Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh to help a friend unite with his girlfriend. Things take a unexpected turn when violence erupts in the middle of friendship & love. 'Rangrezz' begins superbly & the first-hour, does engage. The sequences work & you don't get bored for a minute. However, the second-hour disappoints. Even the twist in the tale towards the finale, doesn't arrest. The Screenplay has some merit, but its erratic. Priyadarshan's Direction is average. He's done better work before. Santosh Sivan's Cinematography is top-class. Performance-Wise: Jackky Bhagnani delivers an earnest performance in the central role. Amitosh Nagpal & Vijay Verma lend good support. Priya Anand looks cute in a bit role. Pankaj Tripathi is electrifying as the powerful politician. On the whole, 'Rangrezz' is a mixed bag.
... View MorePriyadarshan's Rangrezz is yet another tale of bromance sprinkled with moderate doses of friendship,traditional family values and sacrifice.You get a strong sense of déjà vu with every single shot as the narratives progresses through the narrow lanes , the chawl, the dhabba and also the muddy roads of Mumbai during the rains. Remake of the Tamil superhit film ' Naadodigal', it tells the story of Rishi Deshpande(Jackky Vagnani), a young and courageous boy whose life is incomplete without his pals and childhood sweetheart,Megha(Priya Anand).The story follows hows Rishi helpful nature lands him in life- threatening situation when he and his pals help a friend elope despite parental oppositions.Rangrezz is visually delightful , thanks to Santosh Sivan's vivid cinematography which captures Mumbai in full swing and while his obsession with monsoon continues,the sea waves and the dark clouds become synonymous with his technical acumen.It is fast paced laced with some energetic soundtracks and riveting action choreo by Alan-Aamin but the message that the movie sends out seems illogical and unconvincing.Sometimes it lacks the required intensity and the post interval portions seem to head no where.The much talked about 'Gangnam style' also is placed at the juncture when the ending credits roll. There are earnest performances by the band of boys and Jackky keeps his act quite subdued while Priya Anand doesn't get much of scope.Rajpal Yadav tickles your funny bone and the supporting cast which includes Pankaj Tripathi and Lushin Dubey is just OK. On the whole, Rangrezz turns out be a fairly engrossing Priyadarshan flick.Keep your expectations low and you won't feel apologetic.
... View MoreScore 7/10 Director Mr. Priydarshan is able to dig out the comedy very easily even without dialogues and he proves himself again. Story line is good and new. Screenplay is so so, sometimes it becomes illogical. Dialogues are OK. One major problem in script is that they badly fail to convey U.P with dialogues or scenes while U.P is the integral part of script. Even they choose the name of characters, which are very urban, i.e Joy, Jasmeen. Even, I am unable to understand the connection between Title of film and content. Art director also fails to establish the Uttar Pradesh badly on screen. Coconut stall, Bhajiya, cutting Tea, don't belong to U.P at all. Even the locations very apparently reflect South. Performance wise Rajpal Yadav (as Man sigh)is fantastic. He makes you laugh, with even his body language. Vijay Verma (as Pakya ) is also a very fine actor. He has done very good work in comedy as well as in emotional scenes. One other friend of Rishi is also fine. Jacky Bhagnani (as Rishi)is OK but he has improved from his last movie. Pankaj Tripathi (as Jasmeen father) is OK. The dialogues of the mother of Joy are very well good but delivered very badly. Music by Sajid-Wajid is good.
