User Reviews

A Mixed Bag!

Adapted from the Tamil film Naadodigal, 'Rangrezz' is a fairly interesting film, that has glimpses of power, but they aren't many either. An erratic Screenplay plays a spoilsport.

'Rangrezz' Synopsis: A lower-middle-class boy from Mumbai, drives to Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh to help a friend unite with his girlfriend. Things take a unexpected turn when violence erupts in the middle of friendship & love.

'Rangrezz' begins superbly & the first-hour, does engage. The sequences work & you don't get bored for a minute. However, the second-hour disappoints. Even the twist in the tale towards the finale, doesn't arrest. The Screenplay has some merit, but its erratic. Priyadarshan's Direction is average. He's done better work before. Santosh Sivan's Cinematography is top-class.

Performance-Wise: Jackky Bhagnani delivers an earnest performance in the central role. Amitosh Nagpal & Vijay Verma lend good support. Priya Anand looks cute in a bit role. Pankaj Tripathi is electrifying as the powerful politician.

On the whole, 'Rangrezz' is a mixed bag.
