Ranga Maarthaanda

If you are look for some wisdom and perspective on life. You should watch it. A great story and an amazing performance by Brahmanandam and Prakash Raj. The movie speaks will take you through a roller coaster of emotions. Everyone see's their lives with a perspective, this movie will give you a holistic view in it. Brahmanandam, you are simply the best actor in the industry. I was personally Never bored at any point in the movie, the flow if the movie is really good. I would highly recommend all the age groups to watch this movie. It gives out a great social message to everyone. We are a young Nation and I hope it brings out a positive change.

As we all know Prakash sir is the greatest artist..he will definitely exceed your ecpectation. The movie narrates the life of an artist , telugu culture and especially the pain of a father and mother. Inspite of all the odd situations they face they stay together..they respect each other..that is beautifully narrated by Krishna vamsi sir. The bond between Prakash raj and Bramhanandam is the other highlight of the movie...hospital scene will definitely make you cry. Take a bow ramya mam prakash sir bramhanandam sir for your acting skills. I would like to see bramhanandam garu more like this.

Must watch family movie.

Must watch movie. You will learn how to respect your parents, your partner and your best friend. Please don't miss it. If possible try watch this movie with your kids and family. Thank you very much to Krishna Vamshi Gaaru🙏 for making this fabulous movie for us. Outstanding performance by Prakash Raj gaaru, Brahammananadam gaaru and Ramya Krishna gaaru. We want more movies like this. After watching this movie your not able to see into your parents and your in-laws eyes directly. After watching this movie I'm unable to control my tear's and I called my in-laws and I asked them to forgive me for mistakes. I'm very lucky to have them in my life.

I haven't seen Natasamrat and this remake showcases the acting prowess of legends Prakash Raj and Brahmanandam considering is is their scenes that leave a lasting impact. The film focuses on a legendary theatre actor Raghava Rao (Prakash Raj), who is bestowed the title of Rangamarthanda. He announces his retirement from him acting, distributes his wealth among his children and decides to be the best husband he can to his wife for the remaining days. But money changes people and his own loved ones push him out of the house. His inner struggle while coping up with his roles being cut off abruptly in real life, forms rest of the story.

Rangamarthanda's family conflict seems age old and so is the drama surrounding it. Be it the way, their daughter in law uses her daughter to convey she doesn't want the in-laws living with her or how the free spirited daughter starts ill treating her parents, reminded me of those late 80s, 90s films. But what stood out is how Prakash Raj's Raghava Rao deals with these scenario. There are couple of scenes specifically written to showcase Prakash Raj and Brahmanandam's range as actors and they both excel. Ramya Krishnan's role could've been etched better than just a loyal wife.

Overall, despite the slow dated narrative, this is worth watching for the two legendary actors' standout performances.

Krishna Vamsi is back with an emotional drama that shows the sorrow and plight of a retired stage actor. The plot line is not the most unique, the movie is a remake of a Marathi film called Natsamrat (which I haven't seen), as it is telling a story of an older couple whose children are mistreating them. We have seen stories like this but the movie still has the emotions on point and elicits strong drama.

The first 15 or so minutes I felt like I was watching a 2000 or 90s flick, but I'm a sucker for that generation of films so slowly warmed up to it. Some of the actors like Anasuya really got on my nerves and I guess for the characterization it worked out that way. The editing of the trailer was choppy which made me lose hope on the movie, but that wasn't a big issue in the movie especially once you get invested in the drama.

The performances are the main highlight of the film. Prakash Raj lived in the role as Rangamarthanda Raghava Rao, it was not a new character for Prakash Raj but he makes you cry like a baby with ease. Bramhanandam is the man who you look at and immediately laugh, but in this movie man did he make us cry. That hospital scene and monologue was some of the best acting I have seen in a long time. I am glad Krishna Vamsi brought this angle out of him, and hope more directors use this side. Ramya Krishna is another actor who did just fabulously, she was so relatable as a soft mother and just lived in that role. Sivathmika Rajasekhar is a good actor and glad she did well in this film as well, though she needs to improve in emotional scenes. Good to see native Telugu actors acting in Telugu films.

The moral of the film is not on the nose and is just left for interpretation though it is guided by the narrative. We are shown to not mistreat elders and parents especially, and to show gratitude towards them. And from the side of Prakash Raj and Ramya Krishna's side it is shown to not fully trust anyone, it is shown that money can make anyone evil. And above all it is to learn from Prakash Raj to not lose yourself and realize that life is the biggest and grandest play of all. Some of the scenes in the films convey these beautifully without being on the nose or preachy like many films these days.

Krishna Vamsy is back after a long time and you can tell it's a Krishna Vamsi mark film and I am glad he has made a comeback after a string of hard to watch movies with extremely over the top acting.

Overall a good watch if you are interested in emotional dramas and want to see some present stalwart acting performances.
