A typical RGV movie. Interesting and thrilling movie with well written script and screenplay. And excellent performances by AB, Sudeep, Paresh Rawal and others. Definitely worth of rating 7-7.5!Performances: It's essentially an ensemble cast, where everyone puts up an impressive performance. Amitabh Bachchan's honest TV media baron act is uplifting. Mohnish Behl's unscrupulous media baron act is chilling. Riteish successfully tries a make-over as a serious journalist who believes the mike is mightier than the sword. Paresh Rawal is wily and fits the image of a corrupt politician. But it is Sudeep who grabs your attention with his shades of grey. Great act!.Story: Rohit Banawlikar lifts the story straight from the here and now. Yes, topicality is there, yet the twists and turns are quite foregone. Nevertheless, the script holds because it is narrated well.Dialogue: Amitabh Bachchan's speech in the climax about clean journalism is the cherry on the cake.Music: Seven music directors are credited to the Rann audio track, yet, not one song's a winner. Doesn't matter, because song and dance are unnecessary in this gritty drama.Cinematography: Amit Roy uses his camera stylishly to create an impressive canvas that simmers and is permanently on the boil.Styling: Straight out the newsroom and upper crust out of it!

Ramgopal has some kind of pakad on some subjects and this is one of them.He gave good movies like Satya,Company and Sarkar in the past.From starting point of the movie It seems that it is gonna be awesome movie.At the end of the show You won't feel that your time has been wasted and all.Like the camera angels very much, Awesome screenplay, awesome direction.When actor like Ritesh acts you can say director has done a great job.Amitabh and Sudeep also gave powerful performance.Even the other actors Gul panag,Neetu chandra performed very well. Directors like RGV get disappointed when these type of movies not work on box office. In one word Powerful movie Strongly recommended

Before the actual release of this movie, I was eagerly waiting for it. Especially because it seemed to have all the desirable things one can expect out of a Ram Gopal Verma made crime/political film.When I read reviews of so-called critics, I was very disappointed. Most of them gave it mere below-average to average ratings. I almost gave it up thinking that it's another failure of an RGV experiment. But, I am glad I didn't.I don't know why the critics gave it bad ratings. According to me, it was a very good film. It was well presented, not a bit exaggerated, to-the-point film.Things I liked about it - couple of good sarcastic background songs, very well-defined/well-judged characters and the opening as well as climax of the movie.Things that could have been better - background score and some minor touch-ups in screenplay/plot.Bottom line - It's a very good film, overall. The plot was pretty good with some minor holes. Despite being predictable, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I had very high hopes for this movie. The subject matter chosen was very interesting and with RGV at the helm, this movie would be bloody amazing right? WRONG!!It turned out to be a complete let-down for me. Judging by the "post- viewing" reactions of the folks sitting around me after the movie concluded, it appears that I am definitely not the only one. The movie was an "epic phail" for me because of the following aspects:1) The songs were absolute rubbish. Music was nice but the lyrics were asinine to say the least. However, this is simply a matter of taste and other movie-goers may disagree.2) Over-usage of sound-effects to such an extent that it seemed like I was watching a spoof. Moreover, in certain instances, the timing of the "atmospheric music" was a bit off. It appeared that it was developed independently from the script and then just thrown in.3) Overacting... truckloads of it. They brought some chap named Sudeep to play the role of Jai Malik. Now this bloke has quite a meaty role and one wonders whether it was sensible to cast an inexperienced actor in such a role. The actor who plays the part of his girlfriend is like a brick with a smiley face (maybe not, she's quite pretty) but she cannot act if her life depended on it.4) Infantile distinction between good and bad. For instance, bikini-clad weather girls = evil. There are loads more, but it can be quite irksome. 5) The script writing is horrendous. There is a lot of stuff in the plot that just doesn't go anywhere.6)Character development leaves a lot to be desired. Also, there are enormous plot holes in the movie, and to believe some of the things, you may have to take an enormous leap of faith. ***** possible Spoiler ******7) The WORST monologue that I've seen in years. Its almost like a bleedin' K-serial. The entire audience in the hall started boo-ing, making snide remarks etc.****** end spoiler ********While I wouldn't say that this movie is the "worst movie ever made", but it definitely does not live up to the hype. There are a few good things about the movie... Rajpal Yadav adds a bit of slapstick humor (which another commenter found to be very intellectual and subtle LOL) and Big B does try his best. However it appears that his role is very little, just a little more than a cameo.It is, at best, a mediocre movie. RGV appears to have completely lost his magic. Watch it if you must, but I would recommend giving it a pass.**EDITED** The IMDb page for Rann appears to be over-run by fanboys resulting in the rating rising up to 8.3/10 (at present). In addition, there are a few reviews that absolutely go ga-ga over this mediocre excrement. It appears that this is part of the rather over the top PR campaign that the promoters are executing (TOI gave it a ludicrous 4.5/5). Which is rather ironic since the movie itself is about ethics.
