Did you people see the same film I saw?
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
A great Indian movie reflecting how India restored her historical temple of culture and civilization, gods and goddesses, people and rulers. The movie is filmed a century backwards, and it captures the social elements which has been the main reason why the Indian history has not been fostered by its people so long.The central character, who is an independent painter, gets inspired with Indian goddesses via a lady he meets in a temple. His talent of painting is his life. Being a human, he can not live with his talents spirited away by new technology of cinematography. He quits painting but gets trapped by law for spreading nudity and false image of gods, in words of a famous community leader. Airs get cleared when he explains his intentions behind these paintings which prove to be an unforgettable contribution in bringing back the nation's history and culture.The movie is plotted in Kerala, a south Indian state and it holds a very nice illustration of people and families living there. Visual effects have been successful in rendering the lifestyle those people enjoy. The movie shows how gods in India descended from temples to homes and everywhere, how the third class of society got access to public worshiping. It reflects existence and functioning of social division of 'varnas' which was very prominent in India a century ago.The movie ties up with chronological events like revolts in late 19th century, formation of Indian National Congress, spread of plague etc. It also shows France introducing cinema to India, leading to the formation of Indian film industry by Dada Saheb Phalke, a constant side-role in disguise.Overall, a great movie with almost no flaws, successful in its goal of introducing the viewers to early Indian culture.
I wanted to see Rang Rasiya but never got around to it till today.This is the story of Raja Ravi Varma the celebrated Indian artist, his work and his life. Randeep Hooda did an admirable job in the lead role.The period settings, the plot, the costumes, the rampaging Hindutva brigade then and now, it was beautifully done. Nandana Sen looked stunning throughout and enacted her role very well. Paresh Rawal as the astute businessman was excellent as always.The only flaw was that the film dragged in parts. I was watching a DVD so could fast forward, really this could have been made shorter without losing the essence.
I had never heard of Raja Ravi Varma, and after seeing the movie I got to know much about the lost literature and piece of history unknown to me. Since I was unaware of any fact regarding the character, hence I can't criticize on any point or misleading detail. And the speeches were really well delivered both by talented actor Randeep and gorgeous Nandana.I enjoyed the movie and I wish to see the standards of Indian cinema more alleviated and up to the mark. Because in recent years the quality of movies is degrading at a accelerating rate and this movie provided some of the healing aid to the classical cinema lovers.
Rang Rasiya as many other reviews say, might not be the perfect piece of art or the perfect commercial film. It is in fact a balanced product which allows even the most common man of India to understand the importance and the relevance of the story. Even though you feel the film maker could have done much better, you cannot deny the fact that there are only a handful of film makers today who even have the guts and desire to make such a film. Rang Rasiya is for the people who are tired of getting fooled at the box office by the likes of HNY, Kick, Shaukeens etc. (the list goes on and on) Rang Rasiya is for the people who are proud of India and its culture, Rang Rasiya is for the people who want to see a new story every time they go to the theaters. Rang Rasiya is revolutionary and inspiring.If you are a Item songs and Diamond heist film fan, If you like your hero who farts and 20 goons go flying in all directions, then this movie is not for you.
