Rang Rasiya

I wanted to see Rang Rasiya but never got around to it till today.

This is the story of Raja Ravi Varma the celebrated Indian artist, his work and his life. Randeep Hooda did an admirable job in the lead role.

The period settings, the plot, the costumes, the rampaging Hindutva brigade then and now, it was beautifully done. Nandana Sen looked stunning throughout and enacted her role very well. Paresh Rawal as the astute businessman was excellent as always.

The only flaw was that the film dragged in parts. I was watching a DVD so could fast forward, really this could have been made shorter without losing the essence.

I'm a big fan of Rajaji since childhood. Love his artwork. When I came to know about the film, I watched it and in result, it made me more attracted towards his works. Great work done by actors and story makers...

Rang Rasiya is a movie everybody should watch, the lead played by Randeep Hooda & the talented beauty Nandana Sen. The movie takes you through the late 18th century & early 19th century when religious vandals ruled freedom of speech, art & expression. Raja Ravi Verma championed this cause & eventually won the battle. Rang Rasiya is a masterpiece which is on par with the greatest of world cinema or even better than most. The narration is so smooth, acting is superb, sets dating back over a century is also so immaculate & sex is refreshing to see in Indian cinema. Randeep & Paresh have done superbly well. Nandana looks stunning throughout the movie so is the Scottish girl. Hope there are more movies like this coming which are true to the script.

Well made movie. But lack much insight, about his complete life. Only focused on the 'painting' aspect of him. Which makes the movies less historical, less biographical and more theatrical.

Also the movie lacked intricate details, about his art style, inspiration and more of his personality. Maybe not much is known as of modern painters.

One should keep in mind the fictionalization and dramatization of Raja Ravi into a mordern free expressionist.

The movie doesn't even mention his many important philanthropic views and parts of his life.

Rang Rasiya - first of all, Hats off!! to the team for persisting with the final print. It takes courage for the cast, especially Nandana Sen, to deliver content as bold as this. The frontal nudity was handled perfectly and given just the right amount of attention it deserves. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Just like Sunny Leone coming to Bollywood, this movie is a very very bold move and am glad that the movie hall full of grown ups handled it maturely.

Good to see India progressing!!!

Coming back to the movie, too much content to be covered in too short a time. Would have been great if the movie focused on Raja Ravi Verma and his protagonist as the story felt too boring at times.
