Performances:

Jeeva looked cool stylish, flawless and urbane in his character and has done exceedingly well. His dialogue delivery and body language are outstanding and brilliant. While performing action and serious scenes he perfectly transformed himself well and brought right dynamism.

Karthika who made her entry in Tollywood with Josh failed to bag good offers in Tollywood. But her role in Rangam is quite good and performed with ease and élan.

Piaa Bajpai, the second female lead is also good in the role of journo and is the right fit. Piaa looked simple and stylish. Ajmal has given equal performance to that of Jeeva and made an impressive performance. Prakash Raj and Kota Srinivasa Rao are good in their regular styles.

Story and the script of Rangam are the big plus for the movie apart from K V Anand’s excellent direction. He has made this film with heart and soul also adding few real life instances which are engrossing, entertaining and racy. KV Anand has elevated the human angle of the journalists. In fact Anand has clearly showed the guts, willpower and the passion towards the profession through Jeeva’s character.

Music by Harris Jayaraj is undoubtedly outstanding. He can be termed as one of the hero. He scored smooth and catchy tunes which when viewed with visuals are simply a great eye treat. Background score is acceptable and the song ‘Enduko Emo..’ needs a special mention.

Cinematography by Richard Nathan is on top-class. He captured the foreign locales exceedingly brilliant. Editing by Anthony is appreciable.

The way the film is detailed deserves a great applause and the film is better understood in each and every scene and it makes sure that we are into the movie straight away. Script by Subha is fast and furious.

On a whole Rangam is brave and pacy and engages you with the well designed story and neat screenplay. The film is surely a great entertainer and you will not get bored at any given point of time. Jeeva’s performance, Harris music, cinematography, songs picturisation and the climax are the highlights of Rangam.

Final Verdict:

A Thought-Provoking film… Watch it
