Reporter Movie Review: రిపోర్ట‌ర్ మూవీ రివ్యూ - త్రిష యాక్ష‌న్ సినిమా ఎలా ఉందంటే

Raangi Movie Review: త్రిష ప్ర‌ధాన పాత్ర‌లో న‌టించిన రాంగి సినిమా నెట్‌ఫ్లిక్స్‌తో పాటు స‌న్ నెక్స్ట్ ఓటీటీలో రిలీజైంది. మురుగ‌దాస్ క‌థ‌ను అందించిన ఈసినిమాకు ఎమ్‌.శ‌ర‌వ‌ణ‌న్ ద‌ర్శ‌క‌త్వం వ‌హించాడు.

Raangi Movie Review: సుదీర్ఘ కెరీర్‌లో ఎక్కువ‌గా ప్రేమ‌క‌థా చిత్రాల్లోనే న‌టించింది త్రిష (Trisha). గ‌త సినిమాల‌కు భిన్నంగా యాక్ష‌న్ ప్ర‌ధాన క‌థాంశాన్ని ఎంచుకొని త్రిష చేసిన తాజా త‌మిళ సినిమా రాంగి .

కోలీవుడ్ స్టార్ డైరెక్ట‌ర్‌ మురుగ‌దాస్ (Murugadas) ఈ సినిమాకు క‌థ‌ను అందించ‌గా ఎమ్‌. శ‌ర‌వ‌ణ‌న్ ద‌ర్శ‌క‌త్వం వ‌హించాడు. లైకా ప్రొడ‌క్ష‌న్స్ (Lyca Productions) సంస్థ నిర్మించింది. గ‌త నెల‌లో థియేట‌ర్ల‌లో విడుద‌లైన ఈ సినిమా ఇటీవ‌లే స‌న్ నెక్స్ట్‌తో పాటు నెట్‌ఫ్లిక్స్ (Netflix) ద్వారా ఓటీటీ ప్రేక్ష‌కుల ముందుకొచ్చింది. తెలుగులో రిపోర్ట‌ర్ పేరుతో ఈ సినిమాను రిలీజ్ చేశారు. ఉగ్ర‌వాద నేప‌థ్యానికి ప్రేమ‌క‌థ‌ను జోడిస్తూ రూపొందిన ఈ సినిమా ఎలా ఉందంటే...

జ‌ర్న‌లిస్ట్ శివంగి

రుద్ర శివంగి (త్రిష‌) థ‌ర్డ్ ఐ ఛాన‌ల్‌లో రిపోర్ట‌ర్‌గా ప‌నిచేస్తుంటుంది. నిజాల కోసం నిర్భ‌యంగా పోరాడుతుంటుంది. త‌న అన్న‌య్య కూతురు సుష్మిత పేరుతో మ‌రో అమ్మాయి ఫేక్ పేస్‌బుక్ అకౌంట్ ఓపెన్ చేసి అశ్లీల చాట్ చేస్తున్న‌ద‌ని శివంగికి తెలుస్తుంది. ఆ ఫేక్ అకౌంట్ ద్వారా సుష్మిత‌ను ఫాలో అవుతోన్న వారంద‌రిని క‌లిసి వార్నింగ్ ఇస్తుంది శివంగి.

కానీ ఆలిమ్ అనే టెర్ర‌రిస్ట్ మాత్రం సుష్మిత‌ను గాఢంగా ప్రేమిస్తాడు. ఆలిమ్ ఎవ‌రో తెలుసుకోవాల‌ని సుష్మిత పేరుతో శివంగి చాట్ చేయ‌డం మొద‌లుపెడుతుంది? అత‌డు శివంగికి పంపించిన ఓ ఫోటో ఇండియాలో సెన్సేష‌న‌ల్ అవుతుంది? దాంతో చాటింగ్‌ను కొన‌సాగిస్తుంది శివంగి?

ఆ చాటింగ్ వ‌ల్ల ఆమెకు ఎలాంటి స‌మ‌స్య‌లు ఎదుర‌య్యాయి? త‌న వ‌ల్ల పెద్ద ప్ర‌మాదంలో చిక్కుకున్న మేన కోడ‌లిని శివంగి ఎలా కాపాడింది? ఆలిమ్ ఎవ‌రు? అత‌డు ఎందుకు టెర్ర‌రిస్ట్‌గా మారాడు? ఆలిమ్‌ను ప‌ట్టుకోవ‌డానికి ఎఫ్‌బీఐ వేసిన ప్లాన్‌లో శివంగి, సుష్మిత ఎలా భాగ‌మ‌య్యారు అన్న‌దే రాంగి(Reporter Movie Review) సినిమా క‌థ‌.

అగ్ర రాజ్యాల దోపిడి...

అపార ఖ‌నిజ సంప‌ద ఉన్న చిన్న దేశాల‌ను త‌మ అవ‌స‌రాల కోసం అగ్ర రాజ్యాలు ఎలా వాడుకుంటున్నాయి? ఆ దేశాల్లో క‌ల్లోలాన్ని సృష్టిస్తూ అక్క‌డి సంప‌ద‌ను ఏ విధంగా దోచుకుంటున్నాయ‌నే పాయింట్‌కు స్వ‌చ్ఛ‌మైన ప్రేమ‌క‌థ‌ను జోడిస్తూ ద‌ర్శ‌కుడు మురుగ‌దాస్ రాంగి(Reporter Movie Review) క‌థ‌ను రాశారు.

త‌న హ‌క్కులు సిద్ధాంతాల కోసం ప‌దిహేడేళ్ల వ‌య‌సులోనే తుపాకి ప‌ట్టిన ఓ కుర్రాడి మ‌న‌సులో ప్రేమ ఎలాంటి శాంతిని నింపింది? ప్రేమ కోసం అత‌డు చేసిన త్యాగం ఏమిట‌న్న‌ది హృద్యంగా చూపించినసినిమా ఇది.

శివంగి ప‌రిశోధ‌న‌...

డైరెక్ట్‌గా ప్రేమ‌క‌థ‌ను చూపించ‌కుండా త్రిష చేసే ప‌రిశోధ‌న ద్వారా ఆలిమ్ జీవితంలోని ఒక్కో చేదు సంఘ‌ట‌న‌ను చూపిస్తూ సినిమాను న‌డిపించారు ద‌ర్శ‌కుడు శ‌ర‌వ‌ణ‌న్‌. మ‌రోవైపు ఫేక్ అకౌంట్స్ కార‌ణంగా సామాన్యుల‌కు ఎదుర‌య్యే ఇబ్బందుల‌ను సందేశాత్మ‌కంగా ఈ సినిమాలో చూపించారు.

డ్రామా బోర్‌...

రాంగి సినిమా కోసం ద‌ర్శ‌కుడు ఎంచుకున్న కోర్ పాయింట్ బాగున్నా దానిని అర్థ‌వంతంగా చెప్ప‌లేక‌పోయారు. త్రిష క్యారెక్ట‌ర్ చుట్టూ నెల‌కొన్న డ్రామా పూర్తిగా బోర్ కొట్టిస్తుంది. ఆరంభంలో వ‌చ్చే స‌న్నివేశాల‌న్నీ న‌త్త‌న‌డ‌క‌న సాగుతాయి. ఆలిమ్ క్యారెక్ట‌ర్ ఎంట‌రైన త‌ర్వాతే సినిమా ఇంట్రెస్టింగ్‌గా మారుతుంది. ఆలిమ్ సిద్ధాంతాల‌కు త్రిష ఆక‌ర్షితురాల‌వ్వ‌డాన్ని స‌రిగా ప్ర‌జెంట్ చేయ‌లేక‌పోయారు.

త్రిష యాప్ట్ కాదు...

రాంగి సినిమాలో డేరింగ్ డాషింగ్ రిపోర్ట‌ర్‌గా త్రిష క‌నిపించింది. యాక్ష‌న్ ఇమేజ్ ఉన్న రోల్‌లో త్రిష పూర్తిగా తేలిపోయింది. ఈ పాత్ర‌కు ఆమె స‌రైన యాప్ట్ కాద‌నిపించింది. ఆలిమ్ అనే ట్రెర్ర‌రిస్ట్‌గా అబ్దు మాలికోవ్ న‌ట‌న బాగుంది. సుష్మిత ప్రేమ కోసం ప‌రిత‌పించే యువ‌కుడి పాత్ర‌లో రియ‌లిస్టిక్‌గా అత‌డి క్యారెక్ట‌ర్ సాగింది.

Reporter Movie Review -డిఫ‌రెంట్ ల‌వ్ స్టోరీ

రాంగి ఓ భిన్న‌మైన ప్రేమ‌క‌థా చిత్రం. ఆలోచింప‌జేసే క‌థ ఉన్నా అర్థ‌వంతంగా సినిమాను ప్ర‌జెంట్ చేయ‌లేక‌పోయారు.

Despite being an action thriller, the director has managed to bring in some sort of an emotional connect with characters on-screen.

Raangi Review: Trisha is terrific in this thriller that doles out many problematic and questionable ideas

​A Chennai-based journalist ends up developing a unique bond with a terrorist in Tunisia through a fake social media account

Trisha in a still from Raangi

• P Sangeetha

Last Updated: 05.40 PM, Dec 30, 2022

​Story: A Chennai-based journalist masquerades as her 16-year-old niece and develops a strange bond with a terrorist in Tunisia

Review: It's always refreshing to see powerful women characters kicking up a storm on screen. Trisha does that effortlessly in director M Saravanan's Raangi. She rules the screen from the word go and keeps you glued to the seat until the end as Thaiyal Nayagi (Trisha), a journalist at an online news portal, who has a strong set of beliefs.

Thaiyal Nayagi lives life on her own terms and doesn't have any qualms about taking on powerful goons or unruly policemen to prove her point. One day her brother (also a journalist) approaches her asking for help related to an issue pertaining to his daughter and Thaiyal Nayagi's niece Sushmitha (Anaswara Rajan). As Thaiyal Nayagai digs deeper into the issue, it opens up a can of worms. Soon she encounters a teenager named Aalim, who has been chatting with her niece through her fake social media account. Further scrutiny reveals that Aalim is a terrorist in Tunisia and soon things take a different turn and Thaiyal Nayagi ends up putting her life and her niece's in danger. Will Thaiyal Nayagi be able to save them both?

Raangi's premise is an interesting one, but the film ends up becoming a convoluted mess. Instead of rooting for Thaiyal Nayagi, here we see the protagonist end up empathising with a terrorist and eventually trying to make the audience ally themselves with him as well. Some of the scenes are downright silly, too. For instance, we see the so-called matured journalist Thaiyal Nayagi sharing her complete address with a stranger who is a terrorist at the drop of a hat. There is also a scene where the terrorist is seen casually trying to pay a visit to his ladylove at her school in Chennai! How did he slip under the radar so easily? And, later, we see the FBI using Thaiyal Nayagi and Sushmitha as bait to catch the same terrorist! Not to mention, they themselves behave like blood-thirsty gangsters.

This apart, Thaiyal Nayagi's character, too is full of contradictions. She doles out many dialogues on women power and feminism, but some of the scenes do not add up and makes it all the more contrary to what she stands for. For instance, there is a scene where Thaiyal Nayagi orders her 16-year-old niece to strip naked without her consent. This was a predicament that could have been discussed over a heart-to-heart conversation. Throughout the film, the teenager remains unaware of all the misadventures happening in her name. In yet another scene, when Sushmitha's classmate talks about her body image issues and 'how no one pays attention to her because of her looks', Thaiyal Nayagi asks her to sort of make it up by studying well and earning a lot of money. She tells her that today, one can change their face itself if they have the moolah!

And once Thaiyal Nayagi reaches Tunisia, she takes on terrorists as if it's a child's play (when did journalists get trained to battle terrorists)  and the scenes don't come across as very convincing. Raveena Ravi's voice, too, sticks out like a sore thumb, and it takes a while to connect the voice with Trisha.

While the first part makes for a not-so-boring watch, the film begins to lag post interval, especially during the interrogation and some parts in Tunisia. Many scenes taking place in the northernmost African country are blurred.

The cinematography by KA Sakthivel deserves a special mention! The shots look aesthetic and some of the frames in the film are a visual treat. Sathya C's music, too, complements the film. Raangi has a handful of shortcomings, but nevertheless, it makes for a one-time watch, that too, for Trisha.

Verdict: Watch it only for Trisha's performance

విడుదల : జనవరి 28, 2023 (నెట్ ఫ్లిక్స్)

రేటింగ్ 2.5/5

స్టార్ హీరోయిన్ త్రిష సినిమాల్లో 20 ఏళ్ళు పూర్తి చేసుకుంది. కొంత కాలంగా హీరోయిన్ ఓరియెంటెడ్ సినిమాలు చేస్తోంది. యాక్షన్, సస్పెన్స్ పాత్రలు పోషిస్తూ ప్రేక్షకుల్ని అలరిస్తోంది. ఇటీవల ‘పొన్నియిన్ సెల్వన్’ లో కీలక పాత్ర కూడా పోషించింది. తాజాగా ఆమె నటించిన తమిళ యాక్షన్ థ్రిల్లర్ ‘రాంగి’ ఇప్పుడు నెట్ ఫ్లిక్స్ లో విడుదలైంది. తెలుగు ఆడియోతో కూడా వున్న ‘రాంగి’ తెలుగులో రిపోర్టర్ పేరుతో స్ట్రీమింగ్ అవుతోంది. దీనికి ప్రముఖ దర్శకుడు మురుగదాస్ కథ అందించాడు. శరవణన్ దర్శకత్వం వహించాడు. ప్రముఖ లైకా ప్రొడక్షన్స్ నిర్మించింది. ఇది టెర్రరిజం అంశంతో ఒక సున్నిత ప్రేమ కథ. నాణ్యత కోరుకునే ప్రేక్షకుల కోసం ఈ సినిమా ఎలా వుంటుందో చూద్దాం...

రుద్ర శివంగి (త్రిష) వెబ్ పత్రికలో పని చేసే రిపోర్టర్. అన్నావదినెలకి ఆమె సింహస్వప్నం. బయట కూడా అలాగే వుంటుంది. అన్న కూడా జర్నలిస్టే. అయితే జర్నలిజం తన తండ్రితోబాటే చచ్చిపోయిందని నమ్ముతుంది. ఈ రోజుల్లో రాజకీయ నాయకుల మధ్య గొడవలే తప్ప ప్రజా సమస్యల్ని రిపోర్టు చేసే వాళ్ళు లేరని కోపంతో వుంటుంది. ఒక రోజు ఆమె 16 ఏళ్ళ మేనకోడలు సుస్మిత (అనస్వర రాజన్) పేరు మీద నకిలీ ఫేస్ బుక్ ఖాతా ట్యునీషియాలోని ఉగ్రవాద సంస్థలో పనిచేస్తున్న ఆలీమ్ (అబ్దుమాలికోవ్) అనే కుర్రవాడితో కొనసాగుతోందని తెలుసుకుంటుంది. తనతో చాటింగ్ చేస్తోంది సుస్మితే అని నమ్మిన 17 ఏళ్ళ ఆలీమ్ ఆమెతో ప్రేమలో పడ్డాడు.

ఈ ఖాతాతో శివంగి తను చాటింగ్ చేస్తూ లొకేషన్ అడిగితే, అవతల ట్యూనీషియాలో మారణాయుధంతో కాపేసి వున్న ఆలీమ్, తానున్న లొకేషన్ పిక్ తీసి పోస్ట్ చేస్తాడు. పది నిమిషాల తర్వాత అటుగా వస్తున్న రెండు కార్లని పేల్చేస్తాడు. ఆ కార్లలో వున్నది ఇద్దరు అమెరికన్ నిపుణులు. వాళ్ళు లిబియాలో చమురు బావుల త్రవ్వకాల కోసం వచ్చారు. ఈ దాడితో ఎఫ్బీఐ అధికారులు రంగంలోకి దిగి శివంగిని ట్రేస్ చేసి వచ్చేసి పట్టుకుంటారు.

ఇప్పుడు శివంగి, సుస్మితల ద్వారా ఆలీమ్ ని పట్టుకోవాలనుకుంటున్న ఎఫ్బీఐ పథకంతో శివంగి రిస్కు తీసుకుని, సుస్మితని కూడా ఇందులోకి లాగి సహకరించిందా లేదా, ఆలీమ్ కి వ్యతిరేకంగా తను ఇలా చేయడానికి మనస్కరించిందా, వాళ్ళ దేశంలో ఆలీమ్ చేస్తున్న అగ్రరాజ్య వ్యతిరేక పోరాటానికి తను ఎమోషనల్ గా ఎలా కనెక్ట్ అయిందీ- చివరికేం చేసిందీ అన్నది మిగతా కథ.

ఎలావుంది కథ

మురుగ దాస్ ఒక అద్భుతమైన కథ ఇచ్చాడు. లిబియా రాజకీయ పరిస్థితిని, అగ్రరాజ్యం చేతిలో ప్రజా సమస్యల్నీ నేపథ్యంగా చేసుకుని ఉత్తమ కథ అందించాడు. లిబియాలో కొత్త సోషలిస్టు రాజ్యాన్ని స్థాపించిన కల్నల్ గడాఫీ తమ దేశంలో చమురు అగ్రరాజ్యానికి అమ్మేది లేదన్నాడు. దీంతో కాలక్రమంలో అగ్రరాజ్యం ప్రజలతో తిరుగుబాటు జరిపించి, ప్రజల చేతే గడాఫీని చంపించింది. సాయుధ దళాలు ఎందరో ప్రజల్ని చంపి వాళ్ళ పిల్లల్ని ఎత్తుకుపోయారు. ఆ పిల్లలు టెర్రరిస్టులయ్యారు. ఆ టెర్రరిస్టుల్లో ఒకడు ఆలీమ్. అతను అగ్రరాజ్యం మీద కత్తి గట్టాడు. మా దేశంలో చమురు లేకపోతే మా నాయకుడికి, మాకూ మరణం వుండేది కాదు కదా- అన్న ఆక్రోశంతో పని చేస్తూంటాడు. ఫేస్ బుక్ తో సుస్మితతో ప్రేమలో పడడంతో అతను అమెరికా ఉచ్చులో పడ్డం ఈ కథ.

ఈ కథలో రిపోర్టర్ శివంగి మోరల్ డైలమా తీవ్ర అపరాధ భావానికి లోనుజేస్తుంది. ఆలీమ్ తో తను చాటింగ్ చేసి వుండకపోతే అతను బతికి వుండేవాడు కదా అన్న ఆవేదంనతో ఆమె చివరి ఏడ్పు వెండి తెరని పట్టి వూపేస్తుంది. కథ చాలా సింపుల్ గా వుంటూనే చాలా బలంగా వుంటుంది. చాటింగ్ తో సాగే ప్రేమ కథ కూడా క్లాస్ గా వుంటుంది. ఒక టెర్రరిజపు ప్రేమకథని సున్నితంగా చెప్పిన విధానమే ఈ సినిమా యూఎస్పీ.

నటనలు- సాంకేతికాలు

త్రిష టాప్ యాక్షన్. సమయస్ఫూర్తి గల రిపోర్టర్ పాత్రని సింపుల్ గా పోషించింది. ఆమె లేని సీను దాదాపు వుండదు. చివరి సీను మాత్రం ఆమెకి సిగ్నేచర్ సీను. పైకి ఎంత ఆవేశముంటుందో అంత నింపాదిగా, నిదానంగా కరెక్టు పని చేస్తుంది. టెర్రరిస్టుని పట్టివ్వాల్సిన విషమ పరిస్థితి నెదుర్కోవడం ఆమె పాత్రకి రియల్ సంఘర్షణ. మేనకోడల్ని తీసుకుని అమెరికా అధికారుల వెంట లిబియా వెళ్ళాల్సి రావడం ఆమె సంఘర్షణకి పరాకాష్ట. అన్నిటా ప్రభావశీలంగా నటించింది.

'Raangi' Movie Review: Problems galore in this tepid Trisha thriller

At one point in Raangi, Trisha’s Thaiyal Nayagi (TN) faces a major conundrum. Compromising videos of her niece Sushmitha (played by Anaswara Rajan) are being circulated, and TN has to find a way to solve the issue without the girl’s name being tarnished. This is a very crucial moment in the film for two reasons

1) This is the scene that serves as the plot pusher, and 2) Everything goes downhill from here. The way TN goes around making things better for her niece is peppered with scenes that are not just poorly conceptualised, but downright regressive. Take, for instance, the scene where she double-checks if the girl in the video is indeed Sushmitha.

Considering she plays a journalist who understands the importance of saying the right things and having high ethical standards, the first thing TN tells her niece is to strip bare. Why? Even before we wrap our heads around this bizarrely framed request, which doesn’t even take Sushmitha’s feelings into consideration, the makers decide to train their cameras on the garments that are being removed. We reach our second ‘why’ and within the span of a few more minutes, TN just moves on to her next plan without providing Sushmitha with a well-deserved explanation. As I said, every single thing goes downhill from here.

In fact, before moving on to provide a superficial commentary on global issues of warmongering, and oil politics, TN drops in liberal doses of misogyny when she advises a high school girl that beauty is just a teeth braces and plastic surgery away. One can argue that it is what the young girl might have wanted to hear, but then, is it the right message to give in a film that wants its protagonist to be a role model for young and impressionable girls? It is deeply disappointing that this insensitive scene was just preceded by TN’s compelling and holistic view of high school students’ insecurities and proclivity for attention. This constant oscillation between insensitivity and wokeness simply magnifies the problematic parts of the narrative.

There is a never-ending barrage of randomness in Raangi. What starts off as a cyber crime case in Guindy, reaches strife-torn areas of an unnamed (read, muted by the censors) country in Africa. The problem isn’t the shifting of locales but the shifting of ideologies. Why is the person who waxed eloquently about the depravity of catfishing, not take a backseat when they gradually become the person they warned others not to be? What exactly was the equation between TN and Aalim, one of the militants in that African country who strongly lives by the adage, ‘one man’s terrorism is another man’s revolution.’ Even without getting into the politics of this film, it is almost impossible to shake off the feeling of Raangi feeling like the movie equivalent of Murphy’s Law.

While sketching the character of TN, it is clear that AR Murugadoss and director M Saravanan mistook boorishness for bravado. Despite starting strongly by invoking the names of Gauri Lankesh, and talking about real problems of the society without mincing words, TN fizzles out soon enough. Digs at the present state of journalism would have hit harder if the route taken by TN was anything even remotely aspirational. Yes, TN gets an interesting scene where the character allows the actor to take centrestage, and a sunglass-sporting Trisha gets a solid slo-mo walk, a couple of okay-ish punch dialogues, and an impressive resolution to a potential stunt sequence. But, very little comes off it.

One of the saving graces of the film is the presence of Aalim, and his beautiful love story. Also, the music of C Sathya and the cinematography of KA Sakthivel beautifully capture this brief respite from his overwhelming loneliness. Actually, I’d have loved to see more of Aalim’s understanding of companionship and family in Raangi.

With the last act, Raangi aims to be a slick action thriller, and it indeed looks the part. The stunt sequences, despite the disappointing shooting abilities of the gun-toting men, keep up the engagement factor. But again, there is a pervading sense of uneasiness considering the unexplained equations shared by TN, Sushmitha, and Aalim. However, the biggest problem of them all is the complete disdain for Sushmitha’s choices considering she is the centre of every single plot point in Raangi.

She is asked to strip down by her aunt without being given any reason. She is asked to pose for a photo not knowing it’s being used for catfishing a potential danger to her life. She is asked to go to a foreign country where civil unrest is afoot. She is asked to escape bullets being shot at her without even knowing who has the finger on the trigger. And when Sushmitha asks TN, “Why are they shooting?” the former is at the receiving end of an inappropriately timed sermon on gun control and the futilities of war. Come on, team Raangi...this, among a lot of other things, is just… wrong.

Raangi Movie Review: Trisha’s film and its beliefs are flawed on so many levels

Director m saravanan’s raangi, which is penned by ar murugadoss, is an action thriller that is replete with many ridiculous moments. the film, starring trisha, fails to make an impact, says our review..

Listen to Story

• Raangi graced the screens on December 30.
• The film's story is written by AR Murugadoss and directed by Saravanan.
• Trisha plays an action heroine in the film.

Release Date: 30 Dec, 2022

Trisha recently completed 20 years in the film industry. Having proven her prowess for two decades, there’s a natural hype surrounding every film of hers. With Raangi, the buzz doubled as it projected Trisha as an action heroine – that’s a first for her. In hindsight, the film also has story written by AR Murugadoss. Will Raangi turn a new leaf in Trisha’s career? Let’s find out!

Thaiyal Nayagi (Trisha) is a journalist for an online media company. She thinks that she and her brother are not actual journalists and the profession died with her father. She feels that journalists these days do not report the actual issue. One day, she finds out that a fake account on her niece Sushmita’s (Anaswara Rajan) name is in talks with a person named Aalim, who works with a terrorist organisation in Tunisia. As Thaiyal gets involved in it, it causes trouble for her and Sushmita. She gets arrested and we get to see what led to this and what happens after.

AR Murugadoss’s story is quite interesting. At a time when the audiences are used to seeing heroes kick butts, having Trisha hyped up as an action heroine is a welcome change. Trisha gets a handful of action sequences where she attacks the goons just as a hero would. However, having a heroine at the forefront and dialogues on feminism is not just enough for a film.

Raangi’s ideology is convoluted and wrong on so many levels. For example, Trisha’s Thaiyal finds out that a young girl is the owner of the fake ID created in her niece Sushmita’s name. The young girl feels that she doesn’t look beautiful and hence uses Sushmita’s picture to chat with guys. Instead of doing the right thing, Trisha does the opposite. She tells the girl that she needs to endure pain to become beautiful.

Similarly, there’s a stretch about Sushmita’s nude videos being circulated. Trisha’s character goes ahead and asks her niece to strip in front of her without her consent. She impersonates and gives her address to a random person despite having doubts about him and mouths ridiculous dialogues. If these are not enough, there is another problematic stretch, which hints at a possible romantic angle between Thaiyal Nayagi and Aalim.

While there are good moments that can be handpicked, they are outnumbered by ridiculous and morally wrong ideas. Aalim’s backstory and his character bring back interest in the story. However, the interest is shortlived as well.

Trisha has given a decent performance as Thaiyal Nayagi, but it is baffling to see how she agreed to go by so many problematic ideas. In fact, it is surprising to see these ideas making it past the discussions between the direction team. The flawed story cannot be justified by a few good stretches.

2 out of 5 stars for Raangi. Published By: shweta keshri Published On: Dec 30, 2022 --- ENDS --- ALSO READ | Raangi first look out: Trisha looks intense in M Saravanan's film

The small-budget film Sriranga Neethulu, starring Suhas, Ruhani Sharma, Viraj Ashwin, and Karthik Rathnam, has hit the screens. Praveen Kumar VSS is the director. Let’s see how the film is.

The film is about four characters, played by Suhas, Viraj Ashwin, Ruhani Sharma, and Karthik Rathnam, who are undergoing different issues in life. Suhas is a TV mechanic, while Karthik Rathnam is a drug addict. Viraj Ashwin and Ruhani Sharma have been in a relationship for a few years. Sriranga Neethulu is about the problems these people are going through and how they solve them.

Plus Points:

Sriranga Neethulu’s team did a solid job with casting. All the actors gave very good performances in this anthology film. Ruhani Sharma is a talented actress, and she has once again done an impressive job with this flick. Be it any genre, Ruhani is leaving a mark with her acting prowess.

Suhas is a proven artist, and he performed with ease in Sriranga Neethulu. His body language and dialogue delivery are on point. Karthik Rathnam is commendable as a drug addict, and his scenes with Devi Prasad came out well. The good thing about the film is that it has four to five hilarious sequences that bring a pleasant smile to our faces.

Minus Points:

The director tried to deliver a message aimed at the current generation. However, what is more important than the social message is how it is presented. This is where Sriranga Neethulu falters. It has some fun moments scattered here and there, but the foremost important aspect, which is the emotional depth, is missing. No doubt the fun portions are good, but at the same time, the humor has overshadowed the core element.

The story doesn’t offer anything new, and the focus is on highlighting some of the real-life issues. However, they are not established well in the first place, making it difficult to root for the central characters. The love track between Viraj and Ruhani is confusing, and it becomes difficult to understand what the fuss is all about.

The same goes for Karthik Rathnam’s character, as detailing is missing. Why did Karthik turn into a drunkard? The reason is not revealed. Good intentions alone are not sufficient. They should also be conveyed effectively and clearly. The climax portions are very important for films like these, but unfortunately, the ending scenes are poorly written and presented in Sriranga Neethulu, and hence, one would walk out half-heartedly.

Technical Aspects:

The music and background score are decent. The production values are good, and Tijo Tomy’s visuals are neat. The editing could have been better.

Praveen Kumar VSS’s direction doesn’t leave a lasting impression. The comedy scenes are written and executed well, but not enough care was taken regarding the emotional scenes. The intended message isn’t told properly, and the film ends abruptly. The control over the proceedings was lost in the second half.

On the whole, Sriranga Neethulu targets today’s youth and tries to offer them a message. Suhas, Ruhani Sharma, Viraj Ashwin, and Karthik Rathnam are good in their roles, and the film has a few fun scenes. The first half is passable, but the film loses steam in the second half. The intended message isn’t communicated clearly, and the film lacks the desired emotional depth. Had the team taken care of these aspects, the end result could have been much better.
