Rangasthalam

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.

I was awed while watching the movie, a Telugu movie in ages, made with pure heart and soul. You don't see actors on screen, only the characters with full heart and soul. Each character was potrayed beautifully with 200% effort by all the actors. I had my expectations while looking at cast but wow ever actor did more than 200% justice to their characters, which can be directly attributed to director Sukumar's effort in direction department, raw and realistic art work, beautiful cinematography, each and every other department.

I was waiting for Sukumar to show his potential on such realistic movie rather than trying to make an intelligent movies which has no heart and soul. We all know what he is capable of but I am finally glad that he decided to work on such a beautiful script like Rangasthalam rather than pointless intellectual movies which I didn't like personally (this is purely because of my affection towards Sukumar, wanting him to make exceptional movies only).

Coming to performances, Ramcharan was a standout as Chittibabu, I felt the character deeply realistic like many people we see in villages, innocent, pure at heart and stubborn at the same time, this is an outstanding performance by Ram Charan, I can't say anything about awards/rewards, but he won my heart with this movie.

If this movie doesn't win any major Indian awards this year, we can only pray the god to give working brains to the awards committees.

This is one of a kind movie came in Telugu after a long time. Beautiful story telling, outstanding performances, tons of emotions, go for it.

I Gave it 9 Star Great Movie With great story What a Movie ....Ram Charan Work Extremely Awesome ...& Samantha Very Naturally Act Aadhi Sir Work also Gd ...last main What a Suspence..I Highly Recommended This Movie Watch Guys Definitely Lobe it ..........

Sukumar comes up with a heartfelt village level political drama, he deserves a big big applause for his vision. All three story, screenplay and direction were upto the mark

The cameraman Rathnavelu has done remarkable work, Kudos to all the other technicians including the editor navin nooli for their contribution in this beautiful piece of art.

A big mention for DSP, the music takes the movie to another level, from songs to bgm everything was outstanding, probably his best work according to me

Coming to the artists, every artist even with one scene has done well. Aadhi is very impressive in his role, he as usual with his acting and script selection is on point Anasuya also plays her part very well

Jagapati babu as usual plays his part very well as we can see in all his performances after his return.Prakash raj shows his skills in the limited role he got

Coming to the lead actors One of Samantha's best performance, she makes you happy, sad, emotional with her looks as a village girl her hard work is visible and prooves her talent

Now comes the hero, the show stealer CHITTI BABU, our mega power star RAM CHARAN, His best performance till date, EXTRAORDINARY I always had a feeling he is under used by the directors he had a lot to offer which was clearly evident in this movie HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCE IN RECENT TIMES HE SURELY DESERVES A NATIONAL AWARD Dance, dialogues, emotion, expressions with his eyes etc etc this person blowed my mind, I have never seen a more complete performance He has totally submerged himself into the character of a Village boy. He doesn't let's your eyes move away from him My respect for his work has increased by this movie "I personally feel everyone should watch it atleast once" A perfect movie

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*
