Rangamarthanda

Prakash Raj and Brahmanandam magnum opus. I had never this duo together except in comedic roles. But this heart wrenching story brings out the best in both of them. The dialogue between them re-enacting the dialogue between Dhuryodhana and Karna, during the last moments of Karna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra is so complex and yet so subtle, Words fall short to describe their incredible chemistry and performance.

The story items if a poetic ironical events that play out in the life of Prakash Raj's character, Ranga Marthanda. The story depicts the different characters that perform their play in the stage of life.

Must watch family movie.

Many movies are coming in these days which are portraying artificial, imaginary world to us & we are getting mesmerized by those visuals & Grandeurness but this movie is another side of the coin, no action, no VFX, no graphics, no glamour, no nothing except the soul of experiences & emotions of people we see & we feel in our daily life.

Starts with a slow pace but engages you with the story.

Great acting by every artist.

Whether this movie will get acceptance or not by the masses but will move people with soft hearts.

Brahmanandam's acting was on the next level & top-notch performance compared to his previous comedy roles.

Those lengthy dialogues by both Prakash Raj & Brahmanandam will remember old Telugu movies.

But definitely must applaud both for delivering those dialogues.

What a dialogue delivery by both!

Particularly Shakespeare's dialogue by Prakash Raj is top-notch, he spelled & pronounced every word of Shakespeare with the emotion required Ramya Krishna's facial expressions & her acting were great Every actor was up to the mark.

Dialogues at a few places were too good.

A must-give try movie.

If you are look for some wisdom and perspective on life. You should watch it. A great story and an amazing performance by Brahmanandam and Prakash Raj. The movie speaks will take you through a roller coaster of emotions. Everyone see's their lives with a perspective, this movie will give you a holistic view in it. Brahmanandam, you are simply the best actor in the industry. I was personally Never bored at any point in the movie, the flow if the movie is really good. I would highly recommend all the age groups to watch this movie. It gives out a great social message to everyone. We are a young Nation and I hope it brings out a positive change.

I haven't seen Natasamrat and this remake showcases the acting prowess of legends Prakash Raj and Brahmanandam considering is is their scenes that leave a lasting impact. The film focuses on a legendary theatre actor Raghava Rao (Prakash Raj), who is bestowed the title of Rangamarthanda. He announces his retirement from him acting, distributes his wealth among his children and decides to be the best husband he can to his wife for the remaining days. But money changes people and his own loved ones push him out of the house. His inner struggle while coping up with his roles being cut off abruptly in real life, forms rest of the story.

Rangamarthanda's family conflict seems age old and so is the drama surrounding it. Be it the way, their daughter in law uses her daughter to convey she doesn't want the in-laws living with her or how the free spirited daughter starts ill treating her parents, reminded me of those late 80s, 90s films. But what stood out is how Prakash Raj's Raghava Rao deals with these scenario. There are couple of scenes specifically written to showcase Prakash Raj and Brahmanandam's range as actors and they both excel. Ramya Krishnan's role could've been etched better than just a loyal wife.

Overall, despite the slow dated narrative, this is worth watching for the two legendary actors' standout performances.

One of the best family emotional drama on screen, in the recent days.

Prakash raj, as usual he is the best. He lived in that character of Raghava rao. His wife played by Ramya Krishna.. she has become a lot matured and too good.

Brahmanandam, a friend of Raghava.. my god he did a fantastic job. I have never seen him play such a versatile character apart from just being a comedian.

The story is all about a retired stage artist who has to face his next generation kids and not able to live with the their ideology revolving around money 💰, even at the cost of fighting with their parents 😞

There are moments where you will end up with tears in your eyes!!

Also some places, where it feels like the movie is going slow !!

Overall, i liked it. It's a good message to all the youngsters to take care of their parents.
