SAMTHEBESTEST17 June 2021Rangasthalam (2018) : Brief Review -
If every mass-action film can be like this, then believe me even Intellectuals will go mad over this genre. Sukumar and Ram Charan opted Class over mindless Mass. Rangasthalam is one of the rare diamond of a mass-action film in the coal mines of south's mindless masala entertainers. There are three kind of audiences, 1st one is masses who appear in majority, 2nd one is classes who watch all kind of classic stuff from all over the world and 3rd one is intellectual who are always hungry for artistical and intelligent cinematic experiences. There is 4th kind, very unknown and very unique who have features of all the 3 kinds mentioned above. I sort of belong to that rare 4th kind and so i am not a big fan of mindless masala entertainers and that's why i don't watch many South films from that genre. It's not like that it's all garbage, there were some great massy flicks made too and i love those films such as recently made KGF, Bahubali and Pokiri from earlier decade just to name a few. Surprisingly, Rangasthalam came out as classy as those massy flicks. To be honest, i did not expect a great film like this from Ram Charan in this genre but since Sukumar was there i had some hopes because i loved his Nenokkadine. Rangasthalam is same old story but with modern techniques of intelligent filmmaking. Like i said, if all mass films can be so perfect like this one then even intellectuals will go gaga over them. Of course, they won't scream out and dance madly in theatres but they will definitely enjoy the solid entertainer. Rangasthalam is one of the finest Ram Charan film i have even seen (original i mean) as well as his one of the finest performance. Acting, writing, dialogues, camerawork, storytelling, music, action and direction everything about this film is far superior than any other typical out an out mass action film of south. In short, our smart Multiplex audience deserves more and more Mass-Action Entertainers like this.
RATING - 7.5/10*

sriramthestranger1 August 2020Sukumar's Rangasthalam is a period action drama dealing with fraud and corrupt officials. Though the story is age old, Sukumar keeps you engaged in this lengthy movie with his brilliant writing and screenplay. The sound treatment is unique and gives life to Ramcharan's partial hearing disability character. This is one of the finest villain characterizations and best one done by Jagpati Babu. And, it is refreshing to see brotherhood in a Telugu masala film aptly portrayed by Ramcharan and Aadhi. A very entertaining period drama and one of the finest entertainer in Telugu films in recent times!!

aviswabharat31 March 2018I was awed while watching the movie, a Telugu movie in ages, made with pure heart and soul. You don't see actors on screen, only the characters with full heart and soul. Each character was potrayed beautifully with 200% effort by all the actors. I had my expectations while looking at cast but wow ever actor did more than 200% justice to their characters, which can be directly attributed to director Sukumar's effort in direction department, raw and realistic art work, beautiful cinematography, each and every other department.
I was waiting for Sukumar to show his potential on such realistic movie rather than trying to make an intelligent movies which has no heart and soul. We all know what he is capable of but I am finally glad that he decided to work on such a beautiful script like Rangasthalam rather than pointless intellectual movies which I didn't like personally (this is purely because of my affection towards Sukumar, wanting him to make exceptional movies only).
Coming to performances, Ramcharan was a standout as Chittibabu, I felt the character deeply realistic like many people we see in villages, innocent, pure at heart and stubborn at the same time, this is an outstanding performance by Ram Charan, I can't say anything about awards/rewards, but he won my heart with this movie.
If this movie doesn't win any major Indian awards this year, we can only pray the god to give working brains to the awards committees.
This is one of a kind movie came in Telugu after a long time. Beautiful story telling, outstanding performances, tons of emotions, go for it. -
Sukumar comes up with a heartfelt village level political drama, he deserves a big big applause for his vision. All three story, screenplay and direction were upto the mark
The cameraman Rathnavelu has done remarkable work, Kudos to all the other technicians including the editor navin nooli for their contribution in this beautiful piece of art.
A big mention for DSP, the music takes the movie to another level, from songs to bgm everything was outstanding, probably his best work according to me
Coming to the artists, every artist even with one scene has done well. Aadhi is very impressive in his role, he as usual with his acting and script selection is on point Anasuya also plays her part very well
Jagapati babu as usual plays his part very well as we can see in all his performances after his return.Prakash raj shows his skills in the limited role he got
Coming to the lead actors One of Samantha's best performance, she makes you happy, sad, emotional with her looks as a village girl her hard work is visible and prooves her talent
Now comes the hero, the show stealer CHITTI BABU, our mega power star RAM CHARAN, His best performance till date, EXTRAORDINARY I always had a feeling he is under used by the directors he had a lot to offer which was clearly evident in this movie HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCE IN RECENT TIMES HE SURELY DESERVES A NATIONAL AWARD Dance, dialogues, emotion, expressions with his eyes etc etc this person blowed my mind, I have never seen a more complete performance He has totally submerged himself into the character of a Village boy. He doesn't let's your eyes move away from him My respect for his work has increased by this movie "I personally feel everyone should watch it atleast once" A perfect movie -
harishkumar-0417012 April 2021A great creation from Director Sukumar.. Ram charan's next level acting made movie very special.. Masterpiece..

harshakick30 March 2018Watch the characters speak. Listen to the background score speak. Feel the visuals speak. Read the writer/director speak. A revenge drama. We have watched millions of them, yes. But this will take its spot among the rare few best in this lot. Ram Charan gives a lifetime performance as Chitti Babu. His role, his expressive histrionics owing to the disability (plays deaf), his characterization (not heroic by pretense but through sheer nature). Samantha as the female lead, looks like your typical Indian village belle, shows just how much efforts she has put into this project. Devi Sri Prasad bags yet another life time album which isn't complete with the re-recording. All the characters enter and exit the 'Rangasthalam' (stage) with perfect timing and apt presence. You feel Rangasthalam for the 170minutes. The writing and taking however, takes the top seat as it moulds a pretty known plot into something that's intriguing all through. Art direction takes a special mention. Like his earlier flicks, this one too undeniably has the - SukkuMARK !

I know these kind of stories as they happen in reality and regularly in films. But RANGASTHALAM is differently portrayed on the canvas of a beautiful little village and it's mega world of emotions, and that village stands different as this film plays it as a natakam or drama and title chose the same name. Narrated from the perspective of chill+hot headed chittibabu/ram charan explores different levels of human reactions, desires, misuse of power and freedom using different characters in that world. Never missed entertainment yet deeply imprinted the truth that leaders live for people and heroes live up to welfare of people. I'm in love with the effort and output. Go and watch with your family and friends.

Although I thought that the acting was quite decent in this movie, I had difficulty with the translation of the dialogue in two areas. One was that the wording went very quickly and also, because the wording was in white lettering, there were times that the background was such, that I couldn't read what was being put on the screen. Those two things make an important difference in my viewing of any movie I watch that is not in my native tongue. Also, many people have referred to the main character as being deaf. I would not refer to him this way. Maybe it is just me, but when I think of "Deaf" I think of some one who can not hear at all. The main character could hear if someone yelled in his ear or was close to him and his verbal skills were very good, something that would not necessarily be true of someone who is profoundly deaf. He did wear a hearing aid and there were scenes where his hearing loss made a gigantic difference which was very important to the plot. Also, there were some scenes where there was a great deal of violence as well as the hero performing skills in fighting that were over the top, which is a factor in many of the movies out of India that I love, but still, not realistic. I would love to give this movie a higher rating, but, for me, for a personal review, I am not going to be telling friends "oh, I wish you would go and see it".

liaal9 May 2021The plot was great! Though a bit lengthy but the conclusion satisfies.
Great acting by the cast! -
rahulbackup16 September 2019Pros 1) Climax Twist 2) Ram Charan Acting Cons 1) Deviation of Story from Politics to a Revenge Drama. 2) Comedy Tracks are quite Boring. 3) 1st Half tests your Patience.

yamazyewraldi18 November 2023A typical Indian movie that is often mocked on social media. Flying heroes, sexist jokes and women objectification. The movie romanticizes the woman harassment over and over again and you know what happens? In no time the abused woman is crazy about the man who abused her. Like, seriously????? This movie is a real hypocritical movie.
The movie is almost 3 hours long, if only the director had removed the harassment part that Hero did to his Heroin, the movie would have been pretty good. The harassment scenes have absolutely no effect on the plot of the movie. Without the romanticized abuse scenes, the film would have been fine. -
chaladhi3 April 2018This movie provides real cinematic experience -Visual feast of 80's. Everyone in the film played their role very well and never felt they/this scene could've been done better. Kudos to Ramcharan esply - he outperformed. Story screenplay held it gripping from start to finish. These days movies are being made for pure commercial purposes - some unwanted songs, jokes, fights and disconnected loves - in this era, brining out Movies like Rangasthalam is really appreciable. Anything less we talk about it, it's us then forcing to watch those stupid stuff again, so I've spent some worthy time to write review because encourage what's good.

shivpalgun3 April 2018One of the best film to watch and superb acting from the both main leads i already watched 3 times and will wacth it again

disizzgsk14 September 2019How can describe a classic movie which takes us deeply into 1980"s time. Each and Every character, Each and every department person's hard work, director innovation applied in this 2018 year to show off a 80"s movie.
Director Sukumar he proved himself in early stages as a promised director to show something new to Telugu people then he made hollywood type thrillers 1 Nenokkadine which his mind boundary extended with this movie. Now Rangasthalam 80"s magic happened very clearly. I love to tell every character their performance and their each scene how clicked on screen really mind blowing. Ram Charan acting worthable to get National Award and Filmfare award, How he lived in character as a half deaf person. Really suits him very well this character and Samantha is wow fantastic actress after her marriage she is getting more success in telugu and tamil languages. Samantha as mine favourite actress involved in village girl acting incredible. As Sukumar director said he wants to make more movies with samantha if she turned 40 also. Jagapathi babu as president character is very storng and Prakash raj he is multi lingual talented actor and in telugu Biggest Top opponent since 2002 i have been watching his movies.
Great thanks each and every team member and entire team. I felt so happy telugu Golden Era-2 started...with different style.
Rating 10/10 deserved. -
nishanthappu3 July 2018One of the best watchable movies compare to recent telugu movies. this movie has created a big variety to Tollywood. starring Ramcharan. one of the best movie of him.

Rangasthalam:: i dont know how much i was waiting for this film,like waiting for exam results will talk about the result at the end What is a movie?its a visual narration of a story.and story is good,when it has good drama. When,last,we saw a good drama?? 1.the shot where,a kid will see some thing,and eyes express scare,and the poster falls down.(i dont want to detail),such a brilliance. 2.hero is deaf,and he want to hear from the gal,that she loves him.and to make him understand,she kisses him.again brilliance 3.strangers speak loud to hero.but hero says,they know me.why?they are speaking loud. again and again brilliance sukumar, just nailed to the T. take a bow sir Ramcharan: i want to write seperately.but,will say a line in telugu, manalni criticise chesina vaallani,vanda sarlu cheppu tho kottinattu samadhanam chepithey,vatchey kickku,anubhavinchali.i experienced.try it once,adddiripodddi Whatte movie,whatte experience... After long time,each and every charecter in a movie has start and end.superb writing Samantha,adi,ajay ghosh,jagapati,anasuya,mahesh,seshu,prakash raj,brahmaji,dsp,ratnavelu,naveen nooli,naresh,rohini... you guys will remember this for life time.
And,ramakrishna garu and mounika garu,ah sets entandi??antha detailing ah?godala mida poster,sagam chirigipoyi,school godala mida,antinchina poster marakalu,illa godala mida erra matti rangu... Miku dandam saami!!!

Didnt watch yet??still??pity you.
P.s: era seekataipoyindi.... sitti babu remains in hearts forever. -
Sheer brilliance from Sukumar. He delivered once again. After a stylish thriller 1 Nenokkadine, this will be his best work till date. Unpredictable, brilliant performance from Ramcharan. You'll get the pure village environment through out the movie. For NRI's and non Indians out there, you can witness how an Indian village, especially an Andhra village was 30 years ago. The kind of politics existed at that time, the kind of people existed, you can feel everything throughout the movie. You won't feel lengthy though it's for 3 hours. Brilliant perfomances from all the cast, excellent work behind the lens by Rathnavelu, nice re recording by DSP. And for all the North Indians and foreigners, you won't witness old age boring fights with unnecessary sound effects. You'll witness the most realistic fights and they'll make the audience sit on the edge of their seats. After a long time, this director came forward to take the actions scenes to the most realistic level, which is obviously Hollywood level. FINALLY, IT'S A MUST WATCH CLASSIC WHICH HAPPENS VERY RARE ESPECIALLY IN INDIAN FILM INDUSTRY.

ramaswamyms20 December 2020The best of ram charan. This movie is the best of ram charan in his entire career in my opinion, kindly excuse me if any of the fans disagree with this.

Direction : I went to the movie to watch how sukumar takes the village backdrop and portrait it.but he showed his brilliance in making a cult classic.such a brilliant director i have seen in recent times.now coming to the movie its a revenge drama we have watched a millions of this type.but cinematography,direction,artists acting had taken the movie to a different level.
performance : Ram Charan given a career best performance in this movie, the way he moulds himself in chitti babu and playing as deaf showed his dedication, he gave life to that character. as we know samantha gave her best in her little screen presence aadi pinisetty,anasuya and jagapathi babu gave there best performance.
music : devi sri prasad is another asset for the movie.he gave the best album for the movie and the Background music gave life to the movie.
the rangasthalam set was really good it felt so realistic and the art director takes special mention.there are some emotional scenes in the second half which we feel like lagging overall its a classic. -
What a movie , just blown away with the this kind of story Sukumar wrote. Spell Bound performance by Ram Charan(Chitti babu ) like never before. He became like a clay in the hands of Sukumar,there is just Chitti babu seen through out the movie. This will be his landmark movie. We get to see all the shades of character be it equally strong mentally & physically , emotional , being funny,romantic,family guy,responsible guy,comical,most innocent ,most caring...there is so much to say about Charan as Chitti babu. Ram Charan deserves a national award for truly getting into the skin of Chitti Babu.
Samantha(Rama Lakshmi), Chitti babu is incomplete without Rama Lakshmi. She is amazing, Cannot imagine any other except Samantha.She just breaks her own acting records with incredible performance in every movie.She just stands tall & surpasses everyone with her incredible work.Rama Lakshmi is a very strong character with added cuteness, Samantha sunk into it perfectly.
Jagapathi Babu(President) is excels in his role,terrifically portrayed.He can just act with his eyes.Experience matters a lot to pull of such an act.
Adi pinisetty (Kumar Babu) ,Prakash Raj(Dakshina Murthy),Anasuya(Rangamatha) are so apt for their role, they added lot of value to the story line.
Every character in the movie has their importance , no character is just standing there as a prop.
Highlights of the movie : -On point Characters sketch & screen play. -Cinematography ( just wow is what we can say to Rathnavelu's work) -Music & background score are just the soul of the movie (DSP can just break his own records) -Art work (Is it sets in the movie ? Not even felt that for a second too..Great work Team). -
madtej26 July 2018If I want to say about the movie is ,one man dsp because all songs comes in good situations ,the lyrics step up the movie to the another level. Of course ramcharan acted well but the director doesn't give good situations around him. Coming to the cinematography ,he chosen best localities regarding to the story of village drama in 90s Director did ok job because mainly story didnot had much depth

These days film makers create hype to earn money. Except for RamCharan and Jagathi babu and samantha performances, it's an ok movie. Music is good for only one song. All the other songs the voice of singers didn't match the actors. Music director singing aa gattununtava song is a big minus. Lyrics by Chandrabose are great. In fact the only reason why this film got great openings is the song "yentha sakkugunnaave" If not for this song, people have ignored this movie. Wait for 1 year and watch it online or TV. This film is not worth your time.
