Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Steineded How sad is this?
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
silvan-desouza RGV in 90s and early 2000 was a great filmmaker, who introduced new styles of filmmaking and gave us SATYA,COMPANY.etc but post RGV KI AAG his films became horrible and had repetitive background music and weird camera angles. RANN is a decent film, though the excessive background music is there and weird camera angles too make their presence felt. RANN is about media and how news channels battle for TRPS, including political nexus.etc all seen before but well handled I wish however it was more realistic and authentic, RGV hasn't done proper research of media channels. There are some flaws too like Mohinish Behl revealing it all to Ritiesh and some other flaws.Direction is decent Music is okay,thankfully no songs in the film only background musicAmitabh Bachchan is typecast yet plays his part superbly, Ritiesh showed his talent here in serious roles and is superb Sudeep too is efficient, Rajpal Yadav is good, Paresh Rawal makes a comeback with villainous roles with this film and is superb, Rajat Kapur is as usual, Gul Panag is okay, Neetu Chandra is as usual, Suchitra is fab in her role, Mohinish Behl is superb in a negative role rest are good
rkmeeena-iitb Ramgopal has some kind of pakad on some subjects and this is one of them.He gave good movies like Satya,Company and Sarkar in the past.From starting point of the movie It seems that it is gonna be awesome movie.At the end of the show You won't feel that your time has been wasted and all.Like the camera angels very much, Awesome screenplay, awesome direction.When actor like Ritesh acts you can say director has done a great job.Amitabh and Sudeep also gave powerful performance.Even the other actors Gul panag,Neetu chandra performed very well. Directors like RGV get disappointed when these type of movies not work on box office. In one word Powerful movie Strongly recommended
kunalkhandwala "Government, businessmen and politicians are responsible for the stability of the country, thereby encouraging development but to the common man, how are they accountable for their duties? For this very reason, Media was born". Rann deals with the misuse of media's power that reaches out to millions with the truth. This high voltage, no nonsense thrilling drama that captivates your mind and engages you into its unpredictable screenplay has Ram Gopal Verma written all over it and it is indeed among his finest films. Rann is technically brilliant in every aspect. The subject is serious and seldom will you find a light moment and when the story demands it, Ramu enters the realm with all his might. Not a single song for diversion, not a single heroine dancing around, not a moment to edit, not a single mundane dialogue and not a stone unturned. This is cinema in its finest story telling form.Vijay Harshvardhan Malik (Amitabh Bachchan) is the Godfather of India's news media. Righteous and truth seeking in his approach, Malik always favors the truth over TRP ratings and sensationalism. His son, Jai (Sudeep) wants the company to prosper by catering to the viewers' choices while supporting his father's integrity. Naveen (Rajat Kapoor), brother-in- law to Jai, introduces Jai to Mohan Pandey (Paresh Rawal), the cunning politician who will cross all limits to gain his political mileage and together, they convince Jai to create news to gain a tremendous jump in the channel's viewership. Purab Shastri (Ritesh Deshmukh), the new comer in the channel is a devotee of Vijay Malik and as the sinister plot unfolds before him, politics and media unleash true mayhem. In all this, Amrish Kakkar (Mohnish Behl) stands to gain advantage out of his competitive positioning and his shrewdness. Rann moves at a reckless pace with a riveting narrative and explosive dialogue from its ensemble starcast. In terms of its distinct musical score, Sikkon Ki Bhookh, Gali Gali Mein Shor & Jana Gana Rann are very pertinent tracks to the movie's theme and will take repeated listening to catch the essence of the lyrics. Credit for a phenomenal screenplay goes to RGV and for optimizing the potential of such a strong cast of actors. Amitabh Bachchan is outstanding as the restrained and truthful media baron. His finest moment is towards the end when he comes in front of the nation, unravelling his channel's misuse. Paresh Rawal as Mohan Pandey is evil yet his confidence in his techniques is appalling. The smoothness with which he misleads the public in his speeches deserves some chuckles. Rajat Kapoor impressively plays the over ambitious businessman, Ritesh Deshmukh portrays the right amount of composure for his character while walking straight on RGV's guided path while Mohnish Behl deserves an applause for such an awesome come back. He is a capable actor and one wonders why his on screen shrewdness went unnoticed for so long. Gul Panag and Suchitra Krishnamoorthi are worthy in their roles while Rajpal Yadav renders some comic relief without digressing from the movie's theme. But RGV is the true hero of the Rann. With slick presentation, brevity, brilliant screenplay aiding the seamless narration and a no-nonsense, to-the-point approach in every scene, he conveys the movie's message in a thriller like socio-drama. Sikkon Ki Bhookh, Gali Gali Mein Shor & Jana Gana Rann are very pertinent tracks to the movie's theme and will take repeated listening to catch the essence of the lyrics. Rann is uplifting, enlightening, meaningful, intense and worthy of a large combo deal at the cinemas. 8.99 on a scale of 1-10.
ajeet-iitk07 dear movie lovers , this is the most pathetic movie i can remember watching .seriously this is a decent review don't go for it otherwise u'll have no idea where Ur 150 rs and 2:30 hrs went.a very good topic was chosen but presented in a very bad manner .Acting wasn't good at all ,music is absurd and direction is really really bad but the thing that will annoy u most is script . I mean is the script was written by some professional or what ? even i could have written a better script for this movie .very disappointed seeing this movie .one last thing if u like movies like BLUE, MR.and MRS. khanna , this is a must watch for u .
