Rangitaranga: Une vague colorée

It's been a while since I saw a Kannada thriller movie. And, this movie exceeded all my expectations. Kudos to the entire team who gave us such a brilliant movie. This is not exactly a non-linear storyline but, the way Anup Bhandari has taken it is really fantastic apart from couple of goofs. What's a movie without any goofs and continuity misses? Newcomers Nirup Bhandari, Radhika Chetan and Avantika Shetty delivered top notch acting too. And Sai kumar, a round of applause to you Sir! As a thriller, it keeps the audience engaged with every scene and guessing every moment of the movie. Instead of the two quick songs in the second half, the director could've concentrated on going easy on two different story lines. Apart from these and extra spooky effects, this movie did a great job for a thriller genre! Ajaneesh Loknath did an excellent job for the BGM(Didn't find much of UK's BGM similarity though). Stunning DOP by Lance Kaplan and William David. Overall, I'd go with 4.5 out of 5 stars. Must watch for the Kannada movie fans.

What an experience !!! A top class Kannada movie in the midst of all Big budget nonsense movies around.

A standing ovation to the Director/Story teller-Anup Bhandari , Terrifying Banckground Music- Ajaneesh, Excellent Camera work-Lance and Williams and a new breed of genuine actors.. Radhika Chetan , Avantika and Nirup. Also Saikumar playing the role of his life...

Right from the first frame until the last one, I never even turned my head .. so much glued to the screen!!! every point when the story seems to be familiar.. there you go with a twist... this keeps you on the edge of your seat... well done team and hearty congratulations.

Lucia , Ulidavaru Kandante and now Rangitaranga.... takes the Kannada film industry to totally a different level !!

As a viewer... both my time and money well spent !!!

9/10..Simply Brilliant. Deserves at least an Oscar nomination. Multi talented Anup Bhandari is our Martin Scorcsee now. Got chills throughout even after leaving the theater such was its lasting impact. Multiple thriller stories including paranormal intertwined to one mind blowing mystic plot. Top-notch Hollywoodish cinematography like a painting on every frame, Hans Zimmer kind a breathtaking background score, acting, dialogues, screenplay were down to earth classic, songs will give you goose bumps. Not a single moment boring..watch every frame carefully to grasp the whole plot. I bet at the end the more you think deeper about plot you will unfold new hidden story. Go watch in theaters only.

''RangiTaranga'' the Magnum Opus by extremely talented crew proved that Kannada Cinema has that potentiality to go beyond those stereotypical movie formula and win the audience heart, this piece of work never seems to be as the work of the débutante where there is sheer perfectionism and the ensemble artistic elements.

RangiTaranga is one among those movies that elevate the standard of an entire cinema industry and makes its viewers feel proud of their nativity, this movie has very beautiful narrative pattern and brings its audiences into its flow without any strain, mesmerizing cinematography by Lace Kaplin and William David makes every frame as the work of an art, another plus point of this flick is the fantastic BGM by Ajaneesh Loknath that enhances the intensity of the visuals and totally elevate the experience of viewing, technically it's the best among very few movies that made its mark in 'Kannada Cinema Rang', Anup Bhandari as the captain of the team had rendered his work so precisely and had showed all the possible quality of being the tremendous director that one could rely on giving good works, such a fabulous start had also increased the responsibility of giving good movies on Mr. Director, lyrics and typical Kannada songs are truly appreciable.

Nirup Bhandari is the new charm in Sandalwood and also has all those traits of being a good actor, there are slight few things that if he mould himself to the perfection then he moves to be the best, Radhika and Avanthika makes their debut with their good elegant performance, Siddu Moolimani is the person to be appreciated for his awesome on screen presence and comedic appearance, the actual star is Sai Kumar a person endowed with tremendous acting ability had provided full justice to his assigned role, in this phase Mr. Director made the proper selection.

Portrayal of Karavali Karnataka's Bhootha Kola along with syncing music especially 'Dannana' track is the highlight; wonderful locations are other special aspects that add extra beauty to its flow, overall this Kannada thriller stands as the synonyms to the quality and excellence.

I saw the movie First day First show. I had high expectations for this movie when i saw the trailer. I fell in love with the Cinematography in trailer itself. The film didn't let me down, There are few Horror-Suspense movies in Kannada like "Aparichita" "Shhh" and this is one of those movies. Those who would want to see a movie which doesn't has crap love story which other movies focus on so much that they go out of the story line. Love story should be a part of movie not the whole movie.

Most of the actor and director of this movie are newcomers and they have done an excellent job with this movie. I would say please go watch this movie in theater itself to get that thrilling experience and encourage them.

The best part of the whole movie is the Cinematography which was the plus point and makes you not move your eyes away from screen. Go for it guys watch it. To those guys who like movie having over-fighting where all of them fly 5 feet from ground so called as "mass" this is not for you.
