Priyadarshan's Rangrezz is yet another tale of bromance sprinkled with moderate doses of friendship,traditional family values and sacrifice.You get a strong sense of déjà vu with every single shot as the narratives progresses through the narrow lanes , the chawl, the dhabba and also the muddy roads of Mumbai during the rains.
Remake of the Tamil superhit film ' Naadodigal', it tells the story of Rishi Deshpande(Jackky Vagnani), a young and courageous boy whose life is incomplete without his pals and childhood sweetheart,Megha(Priya Anand).The story follows hows Rishi helpful nature lands him in life- threatening situation when he and his pals help a friend elope despite parental oppositions.
Rangrezz is visually delightful , thanks to Santosh Sivan's vivid cinematography which captures Mumbai in full swing and while his obsession with monsoon continues,the sea waves and the dark clouds become synonymous with his technical acumen.It is fast paced laced with some energetic soundtracks and riveting action choreo by Alan-Aamin but the message that the movie sends out seems illogical and unconvincing.Sometimes it lacks the required intensity and the post interval portions seem to head no where.The much talked about 'Gangnam style' also is placed at the juncture when the ending credits roll. There are earnest performances by the band of boys and Jackky keeps his act quite subdued while Priya Anand doesn't get much of scope.Rajpal Yadav tickles your funny bone and the supporting cast which includes Pankaj Tripathi and Lushin Dubey is just OK.
On the whole, Rangrezz turns out be a fairly engrossing Priyadarshan flick.Keep your expectations low and you won't feel apologetic.
