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.

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.

This lad in Aalim's role is a breath of fresh air. His emotions are effortlessly real. Storyline could have been better without the needless Macho-Trisha part. Bekzod Abdul Malikov has a true potential to shine in Indian cinema. Mollywood, have you signed him yet...

Simplifying the turmoil gripping a country like Libya could have been avoided. Perils of exposing social media to teens and the issue that the movie started with could have also been handled in a sensitive manner. There is difference between mistake and crime. What the other girl did was cyber crime and this movie even trivialised that!

My score is for Bekzod, not the movie.

Cant believe what i saw just now. Wasted 2 n half hours if my precious life. Trisha was mediocre to say the least n no aunt of any niece will behave so irresponsibly. Poor little niece made the scapegoat of the whole movie. A terrorist from Libya has the time for love that too a girl from India?(i'm still scratching my head). At no point in time is the movie engaging. A lot of unnecessary scenes. Why they waste time money n resources on such bad stories is still a mystery. No connection between any scene from the beginning. In one word "CRAP".

All the positive reviews are from amateurs or probably kids. Watch it at ur own risk.

First, I want to tell anyone reading this now... you may be heard good and bad comments about this movie... But I want to tell you one thing... this movie is a must-watch movie... only to see that soo good soo much feeling love story inside this movie... Maybe some people do not like this movie... but I know they will surely fall for him. Aalim... I fell for his love... Maybe some will say.. this will not going to happen... but if there is a guy like this ... most of the girls will fall for him. I am damn sure about that.

I don't know much about this.. vfx and all... but if you watch this movie from a romantic view. You will definitely love this movie...
