Rangasthalam

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.

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 !

Sukumar's Rangasthalam is a period action drama dealing with fraud and corrupt officials. Though the story is age old, Sukumar keeps you engaged in this lengthy movie with his brilliant writing and screenplay. The sound treatment is unique and gives life to Ramcharan's partial hearing disability character. This is one of the finest villain characterizations and best one done by Jagpati Babu. And, it is refreshing to see brotherhood in a Telugu masala film aptly portrayed by Ramcharan and Aadhi. A very entertaining period drama and one of the finest entertainer in Telugu films in recent times!!

Direction--good, writing-- great, acting-- excellent from all especially Ram charan, Music-- excellent, cinematography -- excellent, editing-- good but could have been better, vfx-- excellent, art direction-- excellent, make-up and costumes-- excellent, choreography-- excellent Overall a great film with Excellent technicalities powered by ram charan's mind blowing performance

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
