Rangasthalam Review: Reinvents the action drama genre in an artistic style and what you get is a phenomenal, extraordinary cinema.
17 April 2018
Movie: Rangasthalam (UA): Action Drama - Telugu

When I found myself nearly missing the golden opportunity of watching this masterpiece at a local theatre near me with English subtitles, I immediately booked the tickets a day before. The moment I left my seat at the end of my film, I felt as if I had been absorbed into the realistic atmosphere of Rangasthalam. I just didn't want to leave it. It's evening and I'm still unable to stop thinking about the film.

Positives:

  • Ram Charan is the biggest strength of the film. Just watch him turn into Chittibabu, and as the screenplay keeps progressing, you soon find yourself loving him to the core. It's almost impossible not to like him. Samantha, Aadhi, Prakash Raj and other actors also do justice to the characters they play.
  • RANGASTHALAM might be a long film but the editing is so perfect that you won't really want to have it trimmed it further. Due to the powerful execution, it's hard not to find the film an engaging, extraordinary experience.
  • The film grips from the very first scene and then goes on to entertain till date as it serves the viewers with a perfect dose of action, humour, music, drama and other elements. Everything works extremely well in the film.
  • The visuals are a treat to watch, as the cinematography captures the film in its best form.
  • The action sequences are excellent, terrific and energetic. Every action sequence is praiseworthy.
  • The emotional sequences are masterfully crafted and work with the viewers big time.
  • Many twists and turns are very well-woven into the screenplay. The film is also replete with multiple clapworthy moments.
  • The film is a clean family entertainer.
  • The climax is excellent and one of the biggest highlights of the film.


Negatives:

  • NIL.


Repeat value: Yes

RANGASTHALAM is a true masterpiece in each and every aspect. Apart from Ram Charan, kudos to director Sukumar for experimenting with and nearly reinventing the action drama genre, as the result is a phenomenal, extraordinary, unforgettable, class apart action film. It deserves a national award be it for best film, best cinematography or anything but it does deserve: that's how real Indian cinema can be honoured to at least some extent. Apart from BAAHUBALI 2, this film also is one of the biggest reasons why one should keep the language barrier aside while searching for "good Indian cinema".
