Raangi

Scripted by A.r.Murugadoss is a fresh take on a unique story line with his assistant M.saravanan handling few thought provoking dialogue portion and direction... The movie struggles to elevate initially due to slow paced narration... 2nd half holds the grip with fine moments...breaking the usual cliche of terrorist formula and especially the climax portion have been shot well technically brilliant... Sakthivels' camera captures the plains of Tunisia and keeping the soul of movie lively... Trisha does a neat job,though Aalim character has no scope for performance he (Bekzod Abdul malikov) does a worthy performance... Overall a slow paced first half needs ur temper to enjoy a new story line that elevates in the later part.

Nothing new , just the same old story with pathetic performance by Trisha and others !! This genera doesn't suit Trisha at all and we can't even feel what she is going through with this character and absolutely waste of time and money !!

Saravan has been doing good work previously but this is not his genre and I'm sorry for Lyca for producing these kind of pathetic stories with Trisha and Trisha to tell , she has tried her best but it doesn't work at all .

We are fed up with these kind of spineless stories , especially bringing Terrorism into creative arts , how many years you are going to use that plot for your own sake !!

Raangi is very wrongly!!

Raangi starts off with a good note of introducing Trisha as a bold woman journalist. The one line of the film is absolutely amazing. But, everything else that happens afterwards are cringeworthy and should not be considered as a model to be followed. Impersonating a teenager, putting a teenager at risk of getting victimized by social network cybercriminals, taking a teenager to places of danger without letting her know the exact reason, asking a teenage girl to strip naked without letting her know the reason are some of the things I am shocked to see in this movie. Such directors should be banned and stopped from making anymore movies.

Also, the film does not know its core message, is it about Teenager problems, supporting Zealots, or justifying romancing with kids. At last when the lead character cries, we can only laugh.

Inbetween the journalist (Trisha) says - "if only I was younger" A 40 year old woman having feelings for a 17 year old kid.

It's basically story of a cougar.

She is supposed to be a brave journalist. An aunt who is trying to protect her brother's daughter from sexual abuse. But that goes into a totally different direction. Pulling her into a bigger problem.

The 'friend' has been using the girls face for posting her body photos. Which is wrong.

But the aunt using her face for a feeling with the 17 year old terrorist is supposed to be ok. .

Bad music. Bad story. Bad direction. Is Trisha even synchronising her lips properly for the dialogues?

The boy maybe correct from his side. But what exactly is the story? Are they trying to show the Libyan ideas? A love story? An action movie? Story of a brave woman who has achieved something big? Basically it's a totally bad mix of everything.

Can't believe murugadas approved this story.

I don't have a single good thing to say about this movie. The movie starts off hinting at female empowerment with Trisha exposing a cop who make lewd comments at her. Then she starts investigating a FB account which claims to be her niece & posts nude videos. I don't want to get into spoilers but from that point the movie takes a dive into absurdity.

Trisha asks her 16 year old niece to take off her clothes. Her intention was to confirm if the nude girl in the videos is her niece, but she gives no explanation to the little girl. She just yells at the girl to take off her clothes and watches the niece sob while undressing. How is this not RAPE? She is also totally cool with the actual perp behind the account who has a cringy sob story.

The movie goes ahead and evolves into a pseudo romance between an under age Libyan terrorist and Trisha who is pretending to be her niece. Again the background score and the story telling style is glorifying the romance instead of pointing out the obvious wrongs in an adult romancing a kid. The movie then has a character given a wise person aura glorify Colonel Gaddaffi. I can't believe Trisha did not do a single Google search on Gaddaffi before she acted in this movie. I watched the movie only because I thought a senior actor like Trisha would be acting in something sensible. She just lost all her credibility in my eyes.
