नई दिल्ली. इस बात के कितने प्रतिशत चांस हो सकते हैं कि एक शहर की एक न्यूज़ पोर्टल की रिपोर्टर को अचानक ही लीबिया के किसी आतंकवादी से जुड़ा एक कनेक्शन मिल जाए और फिर उसे पकड़वाने के बजाये वो उस से गप्पे लगाए और फिर अंततः उस से मिलने लीबिया चली जाए, जिस वजह से एफ़बीआय और सीबीआई उसके पीछे पड़ जाये, लीबिया में घमासान गोलीबारी भी हो और अंत भला किस्म का एक एंडिंग भी हो जाए. तमिल फिल्म रांगी जो दिसंबर में सिनेमाघरों में और हाल ही में नेटफ्लिक्स पर रिलीज़ हुई है, कुछ ऐसी ही कपोल कल्पना की उड़ान है जिसमें अगर मुख्य भूमिका में तृषा की जगह कोई और अभिनेत्री होती तो शायद दर्शक अपने टीवी का वो हश्र करते कि टीवी निर्माताओं को नए टीवी बेचने का अवसर मिल जाता.

रांगी की कहानी लिखी है एआर मुरुगाडॉस और एम सर्वानन ने. मुरुगाडॉस की कलम से गजिनी, थुप्पकी, जय हो, हॉलिडे, कैदी, अकीरा, सरकार और दरबार जैसी फिल्में निकली हैं. वो खुद एक सफल डायरेक्टर हैं जिन्होंने आमिर, रजनीकांत, विजय और सूर्या जैसे कलाकारों को डायरेक्ट किया है. उनकी कहानी इतनी सतही और कमज़ोर कैसे निकली ये शोध का विषय हो सकता है. मुरुगाडॉस के ही असिस्टेंट रहे एम सर्वानन ने अब तक सिर्फ अपनी ही कहानियों पर फिल्म बनायीं है, एकाध दो फिल्मों को छोड़ कर बाकी सामान्य ही रही हैं. रांगी की कहानी में फ्लाइट ऑफ़ फैंसी बहुत ज़्यादा है. भरोसा करने लायक बातें होती ही नहीं हैं.

रांगी एक न्यूज़ पोर्टल में खोजी पत्रकार है जो पार्ट टाइम में गुंडों की पिटाई भी कर लेती है. रांगी के भाई की बेटी के अश्लील वीडियो कोई रांगी के भाई को भेजता है तो रांगी इस मसले को सुलझाते सुलझाते अपनी भांजी की क्लासमेट तक पहुंचती है जिसने रांगी की भांजी के नाम का फेक अकाउंट बनाया होता है और पहुंचती है उन सब लोगों तक जो इस फेक अकाउंट पर उसकी भांजी से बातचीत कर रहे होते हैं. सबकी बैंड बजाने के बाद, सबसे आखिर में रांगी उस फेक अकाउंट के आखिरी कॉन्टैक्ट से बात करती है तो उसे पता चलता है कि ये कॉन्टैक्ट, लीबिया के किसी टेररिस्ट का है. रांगी की खोजी पत्रकारिता उसे प्रेरित करती है कि वो इस राज़ को फाश करे लेकिन इस चक्कर में वो लगभग रोज़ाना ही उस टेररिस्ट से बात करने लगती है. वो टेररिस्ट भी उसकी भांजी के चक्कर में रांगी को अरेस्ट करने वाले पुलिस वाले पर हमला करवा देता है. रांगी को एफ़बीआय अरेस्ट कर लेती है और उसे लीबिया के टेररिस्ट को पकड़वाने के लिए मजबूर करती है. इसके लिए रांगी को अपनी भांजी को लीबिया भेजना होता है ताकि वो टेररिस्ट उस से मिलने आये और एफ़बीआय उसे गिरफ्तार कर सके. वहीँ टेररिस्ट के साथी रांगी की भांजी को ख़त्म करना चाहते है ताकि उनकी गैंग सेफ रहे. एफ़बीआय और टेर्रोरिस्ट्स में गोलीबारी होती है और अंत में पूरी टेररिस्ट गैंग मारी जाती है.

तृषा कृष्णन ने ये फिल्म क्यों की? इसका जवाब कैसे मिलेगा? तृषा का रोल एक ऐसी रिपोर्टर का है जो की पत्रकारिता के ज़रिये समाज बदलना चाहती है फिर वो जर्नलिस्ट से जासूस बन जाती है और अपनी भांजी के नाम का फेक अकाउंट बनाने वाली उसकी क्लासमेट को पकड़ती है. इसके बाद तृषा को उन सभी ठरकियों को ठीक करना होता है जो उसकी भांजी के फेक अकाउंट से अश्लील बातें करते रहते हैं और उसे अपने अश्लील वीडियो भेजने के लिए कहते हैं. इसके बाद तृषा इन सभी ठरकियों को ठोक पीट कर सीधा कर देती है. फिर अचानक वो एक पुलिसवाले की ज़्यादती को अपने न्यूज़ पोर्टल पर डाल देती है और थोड़ी देर बाद उसके गुंडों को भी पीट देती है. उसे टेररिस्ट से सहानुभूति हो जाती है क्योंकि वो नाबालिग है. वो ये भी नहीं समझती कि वो लीबिया में है और वहां जाना मुश्किल है अगर नामुमकिन न भी हो तो. लीबिया की पॉलिटिक्स समझने के लिए वो अपने टीचर के पास जाती है जो एक दसियों चल से चल रहे गृह युद्ध को चुटकियों में समझा देते हैं. कहानी में इतनी कमज़ोर कड़ियाँ हैं कि दर्शक कन्फ्यूज़न में ही रहते हैं. ये पता ही नहीं चलता कि कहानी किस करवट बैठेगी. एक अच्छी फिल्म के लिए ये बहुत ज़रूरी होता है कि दर्शक आने वाली कहानी को थोड़ा बहुत ही सही, भांप ले. रांगी में ऐसा नहीं होता.

रांगी, मारपीट कैसे कर लेती है? क्या पता? रांगी ने जब अपनी भांजी की दोस्त को पकड़ लिया, उसकी भांजी का फेक अकाउंट बना कर इस्तेमाल करते हुए तो उसने अकाउंट बंद क्यों न करवा दिया? ठरकियों को पकड़ कर पुलिस के हवाले क्यों नहीं किया? फिल्म में कुछ भी हो रहा है. रांगी टेक्नोलॉजिकली इतनी कमज़ोर है कि टेररिस्ट अरबिक भाषा में टेक्स्ट और ऑडियो भेजता है और ज़ाहिर है कि कुछ टाइम जोन डिफरेंस भी रहा होगा. साढ़े तीन घंटे के टाइम जोन डिफरेंस को सीधे सीधे उड़ा ही दिया गया है. तृषा के कहने पर की एक इंस्पेक्टर उसे परेशान कर रहा है, लीबिया का एक नाबालिग टेररिस्ट, चेन्नई में अपने किसी साथी की मदद से उस इंस्पेक्टर और बाकी पुलिसवालों को गोली मार देता है. लीबिया के टेररिस्ट के स्लीपर सेल इंडिया में हैं? वो भी चेन्नई में? और वो ये जानते हैं कि तृषा को किस थाने ले जा रहे हैं और उन्हें किस इंस्पेक्टर को गोली मारनी है? वो टेररिस्ट, तृषा के लिए इतनी बड़ी वारदात कर देता है और तृषा को मामले की गंभीरता समझ ही नहीं आती? कुछ भी चल रहा है.

संगीत, सिनेमेटोग्राफी, एडिटिंग की बात करना सिवाय खानापूर्ति के कुछ नहीं होगा क्यों कि फिल्म की कहानी ही इतनी लचर है कि एक समझदार दर्शक तो बकवास पकड़ ही लेगा. रांगी एक ऐसी कहानी है जो यूँ ही गप्पे लगाते लगाते लिख ली गयी है और लॉजिक को दूर से भगा दिया गया है. आप इस फिल्म को देख सकते हैं सिर्फ मनोरंजन के उद्देश्य से क्योंकि एक्शन तो ठीक ठाक है. फिल्म बकवास है.

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

'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

Trisha's Raangi hit the theatres on December 30.

  • 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

Critics Review

So bad that it�s good.

The audience that I saw the film with was also in a similar frame of mind as myself. Could hear giggling all around. Somebody walking in would have easily mistaken the film for a comedy. And the best part was how everyone actually waited till the end, even as the credits were rolling. This doesn�t even happen to the best of films. Nobody wanted to miss out, just in case there was more fun to be had. (more)

Raangi is unexpectedly great and it's a perfect action thriller for the weekend.

Other than that, there's nothing to complain about. The plot also doesn't follow the usual commercial formula of hero vs villain of sorts. The best part is Trisha's performance and she is quite convincing as a mass-female lead. The stunt sequences that she performs is choreographed really well. Both cinematography and background score elevates the film big time and it blends well with the plot. Raangi is unexpectedly great and it's a perfect action thriller for the weekend. (more)

Trisha's film and its beliefs are flawed on so many levels

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. (more)

Trisha's latest is bafflingly silly and questionable

the film mistakes bold and strong for reckless and silly. While people around Thayyal Nayaki revere her as a brilliant and level-headed woman, her actions only contradict their beliefs. She mindlessly shares her address (with the new and old door numbers) with a terrorist. Also, her idea of romance is just outright juvenile, just like the film, which teems with obnoxiously dumb events. Aalim, the most-wanted terrorist, takes a quick trip to Chennai to meet Sushmitha. The Prime Minister of India orders the killing of one of his ministers to cover up a deal. The FBI agents act like gangsters trying to kill Sushmitha to lure Aalim. The list goes on. (more)

Raangi Review

Raangi - A novel attempt that has its moments

Looks like the era of heroine-centric films has finally arrived in Tamil cinema and this week itself there are four films headlined by the fairer gender releasing in theaters.  For 'Raangi' Trisha has teamed up with A.R. Murugadoss (Writer) and M Saravanan, the famed director of 'Engeyum Eppodhum'.  Will this novel attempt that has its own flaws find its way into its target audience's hearts remains to be seen.

Thaiyal Nayagi (Trisha Krishnan)and her elder brother are both journalists following in their dad's footsteps.  However she is a Raangi, a dont-give-a-damn-for-conventional-methods kind of girl.   The brother is threatened by a man who has nude videos of his teenage daughter Sushmitha (Anaswara Rajan) and he asks his sister for help.  When Thaiyal Nayagi investigates she finds out that the photos are real but have not been sent by Sushmitha but her classmate Neha who is impersonating her.  She then gets hold of the fake facebook ID created by Neha and begins chatting with a 17 year old boy who has fallen in love with Neha online thinking she is Sushmitha.  Things escalate when Thaiyal Nayagi unwittingly causes the murder of a central minister and also discovers that the boy is a terrorist and now Sushmitha's life is in danger.  What happens next is what Raangi is all about.

raangi movie review in hindi

Trisha has shouldered the entire film as the bold journalist Thaiyal Nayagi who goes to any extent for the cause she believes in.  Later in the film she is also quite convincing as she slowly begins to fall in love with the unknown youth and hopes to save him, even risking the lives of her family members and herself.  Anaswara Rajan is perfect as the innocent teenage girl who is blissfully unaware till the very end that she is the center of everything happening around her.  There is a nice moment in the end when she gets to feel who the boy truly is.  The young  actor who plays Aalim is instantly likeable and has efficiently portrayed the role of a zealot who feels the pangs of an impossible love.  The rest of the cast have all done their respective roles well.

raangi movie review in hindi

What works best in 'Raangi' is the deceptive love story that is at its core which drives the screenplay to the very end.  There is a takeaway from how the film sensitively treats the erring teenage girl Neha who falls prey to online sexual predators.  The use of artificial intelligence to help a Tamil girl and a Tunisian youth to converse without any problems in the internet era is well documented in the film.  One of the lines that hits the bullseye is spoken by Aleen "My leader was killed and I am going to die because my country is rich in resources...Your country is also the same so fight to save it from them".  The screenplay switches genres at will that is refreshing like starting the proceedings as a cyber thriller and then debating the  zealot vs terrorist angle before moving to action and finally climaxing as a tragic love story.

raangi movie review in hindi

On the downside the logic loopholes are pretty gaping in the screenplay right from Trisha risking the life of her niece as if it's a ball game to her performing gravity defying stunts with the terrorists.  The drag in the screenplay is quite noticeable in a few sequences.  The punch dialogues about terrorism and other political issues that Trisha mouths do not land organically and stick out like a sore thumb.  Similarly, Trisha advising a confused young girl to earn enough money to conduct cosmetic surgery to enhance her looks is hard to digest. It  contradicts the dialogue she speaks to her a few minutes earlier that she is beautiful as she is.

raangi movie review in hindi

A.R. Murugadoss has attempted a multigenre screenplay that is quite refreshing compared to the run on the mill.  KA Shakthivel who has handled the cinematography has done a terrific job especially in the Tunisia portions capturing the vast landscapes and the deep valleys aesthetically.  C Sathya's rich background score is a big plus while editor  M Subarak has done his best to provide a smooth flow in spite of the flaws in the screenplay. Director M. Saravanan proved to the world with 'Engeyum Eppodhum' that he can brilliantly narrate a story about human emotions and relationships layered beneath a nail biting thriller.   With 'Raangi' too he has strived and succeeded to a great extent in giving the audience a novel film.

Verdict : You can sure give a thumbs up for this novel attempt

Rating: 3 / 5.0
