RE RAAYA REVIEW -
125cr is the population of our country and still we don't produce large number of Olympic winners athletes, why so? Because more than talent, we rely on some other stuffs such as recommendation, politics, association, selection process, corruption etc. which has overtaken this System completely, Sad! Based on this realistic theme, Re Raaya tells the story of Aadesh (Bhushan Pradhan) who had been a tremendous athelate but was always been ignored by the System. To take a revenge he decides to train 3 Teen Boys who can fulfill his dream of receiving honorary sports award, literally he sees his dreams in thier eyes.
The basic story written by Kiran Berad deserves appreciation for giving a Tight Slap on System's face, someone had to pick this subject which might bring some improvement in System and help us to generate more and more sports talent from our country in future but, the execution for the same is not upto level. This sensitive theme is also a social theme thus, the Execution had to be Socially yet Mass appealing but Re Raaya focuses more on a typical average8 film-making instead of focusing on Content and Direct connect. Some moments hits the right chords, such as a scene where the lead actor tears apart Association members that why India does not produce Olympic Winners, why Talent has always been overshadowed by politics? On the other side some scenes goes flat and looks useless, as this film never needed love songs but couple of love plus sorrowful songs are still there for no reason.
Usually when you have a Strong subject in hand to tell then story-telling and direction becomes most important parts, which is done by not so Experienced guy Milind Shinde who is a Brilliant Actor without a single moment of doubt but that doesn't help him as a Director. Direction and Acting are two completely different corners of a rope, that's the main reason why Re Raaya fails as Film but still somehow manages to give that important message to all Sport lovers as well as to the corrupt system.
What Re Raaya does in a nutshell is, it successfully highlights the corruption happening in Sports field which is probably the best thing happened about this film but as a film it has failed long time in all aspects like Acting, Editing, Music, Screenplay, Direction and Final Impact of the film
Rating- 1.5/5*
