Rangasthalam

Watch the characters speak. Listen to the background score speak. Feel the visuals speak. Read the writer/director speak. A revenge drama. We have watched millions of them, yes. But this will take its spot among the rare few best in this lot. Ram Charan gives a lifetime performance as Chitti Babu. His role, his expressive histrionics owing to the disability (plays deaf), his characterization (not heroic by pretense but through sheer nature). Samantha as the female lead, looks like your typical Indian village belle, shows just how much efforts she has put into this project. Devi Sri Prasad bags yet another life time album which isn't complete with the re-recording. All the characters enter and exit the 'Rangasthalam' (stage) with perfect timing and apt presence. You feel Rangasthalam for the 170minutes. The writing and taking however, takes the top seat as it moulds a pretty known plot into something that's intriguing all through. Art direction takes a special mention. Like his earlier flicks, this one too undeniably has the - SukkuMARK !

I know these kind of stories as they happen in reality and regularly in films. But RANGASTHALAM is differently portrayed on the canvas of a beautiful little village and it's mega world of emotions, and that village stands different as this film plays it as a natakam or drama and title chose the same name. Narrated from the perspective of chill+hot headed chittibabu/ram charan explores different levels of human reactions, desires, misuse of power and freedom using different characters in that world. Never missed entertainment yet deeply imprinted the truth that leaders live for people and heroes live up to welfare of people. I'm in love with the effort and output. Go and watch with your family and friends.

Rangasthalam (2018) : Brief Review -

If every mass-action film can be like this, then believe me even Intellectuals will go mad over this genre. Sukumar and Ram Charan opted Class over mindless Mass. Rangasthalam is one of the rare diamond of a mass-action film in the coal mines of south's mindless masala entertainers. There are three kind of audiences, 1st one is masses who appear in majority, 2nd one is classes who watch all kind of classic stuff from all over the world and 3rd one is intellectual who are always hungry for artistical and intelligent cinematic experiences. There is 4th kind, very unknown and very unique who have features of all the 3 kinds mentioned above. I sort of belong to that rare 4th kind and so i am not a big fan of mindless masala entertainers and that's why i don't watch many South films from that genre. It's not like that it's all garbage, there were some great massy flicks made too and i love those films such as recently made KGF, Bahubali and Pokiri from earlier decade just to name a few. Surprisingly, Rangasthalam came out as classy as those massy flicks. To be honest, i did not expect a great film like this from Ram Charan in this genre but since Sukumar was there i had some hopes because i loved his Nenokkadine. Rangasthalam is same old story but with modern techniques of intelligent filmmaking. Like i said, if all mass films can be so perfect like this one then even intellectuals will go gaga over them. Of course, they won't scream out and dance madly in theatres but they will definitely enjoy the solid entertainer. Rangasthalam is one of the finest Ram Charan film i have even seen (original i mean) as well as his one of the finest performance. Acting, writing, dialogues, camerawork, storytelling, music, action and direction everything about this film is far superior than any other typical out an out mass action film of south. In short, our smart Multiplex audience deserves more and more Mass-Action Entertainers like this.

RATING - 7.5/10*
