Published on May 13, 2011 by Admin · No Comments
Jeeva, son of producer R B Chowdary trying his luck in Tollywood again with Rangam, his earlier movies Dishum Dishum and Ee bombed at box office. Karthika and Priya Bajpai paired opposite Jeeva in this movie. Actually Rangam was dubbed version of Tamil hit Ko. Let's see how this movie goes
Story: Ashwad a still photographer works as a journalist for a daily news paper. Priya (Karthika), Saro (Priya Bajpai) are colleagues of Ashwad. All the 3 journalists tries to bring more latest and breaking news to make their news paper popular. Ashwad captures leading politicians mis acts and publishes in paper, opposition leader Yogeshwar (Prakash Raj) dreams of becoming Chief Minister but Ashwad shows him as a corrupted through media.
Ashwad likes young politician Vasanth, hs friend and supports him during his election campaigns. suddenly a blast took place at one of Vasanth's meeting and Saro gets killed in hte blast. Later Ashwad knows Saro was not died in hte blast, she was just killed by some one. Vasanth becomes Chief Minister after the blast and elections. Wo killed Saro? Will Ashwad able to find them and brings them to justice or not? Rest forms the story.
Performances: Jeeva looked cool stylish, flawless and urbane in his character and has done exceedingly well. His dialogue delivery and body language are outstanding and brilliant. While performing action and serious scenes he perfectly transformed himself well and brought right dynamism.
Karthika who made her entry in Tollywood with Josh failed to bag good offers in Tollywood. But her role in Rangam is quite good and performed with ease. Piaa Bajpai, the second female lead is also good in the role of journo and is the right fit. Piaa looked simple and stylish. Ajmal has given equal performance to that of Jeeva and made an impressive performance. Prakash Raj and Kota Srinivasa Rao are good in their regular styles.
Story and the script of Rangam are the big plus for the movie apart from K V Anand’s excellent direction. He has made this film with heart and soul also adding few real life instances which are engrossing, entertaining and racy. KV Anand has elevated the human angle of the journalists. In fact Anand has clearly showed the guts, willpower and the passion towards the profession through Jeeva’s character. Music by Harris Jayaraj is undoubtedly outstanding.
On a whole Rangam is brave and pacy and engages you with the well designed story and neat screenplay. The film is surely a great entertainer and you will not get bored at any given point of time. Jeeva’s performance, Harris music, cinematography, songs picturisation and the climax are the highlights of Rangam. Audience might feel it as a Tamil movie in many frames, and the leads are new in Tollywood. Movie goes on slow phase and there is no comedy in the film. So it might run for a short time if advertised properly. On a whole I'm going with 3 out of 5 for this film.
Bottom Line: Movie with different feel – One time watchable
