Rana Naidu

I loved Ray Donovan is brilliant TV serial. I have to to admit watching an Indian version I was skeptical, as sometimes the story can change or the acting is not great however I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the show. Some old and current actors so was good to see faces I have not seen in a while.

I would rate it 18+ as it's not for the soft heated as it is a little on the dark side with some funny bits. For an Indian series it sure did step out of it's boundaries and touched on a topic that is always overlooked.

Overall great acting and hope the story continues as I know there is more to series to show your audience.

Well I didn't know Rana Naidu is a remake of Ray Donovan. So when i saw the teaser / trailer of Rana , i thought it would be a tale of a son and father who are pitted against each other where the father is hired to try to stop the son from his job. I expected terrific face offs and fight sequences but it wasn't to be.

Rana Naidu is basically a family crime drama where each character has a story of his own to showcase, from Rana Naidu to Naga the father to the youngest Jaffa, everyone's story is shown in this series. In between their own story lies the major one, the Rana Naga story . It's not what i thought. It's basically Naga trying to bring his family together only to find that there were secrets hidden from him and why exactly Rana hates Naga is the main story.

There's no sparks flying off like clash between Naga and Rana at all. I was dissapointed here. Just a mere collar holding and some threatening dialogues nothing else. Remaining series is only focused on others story and how the Naga Rana relationship moves .

It's a very slow moving series. The first 6 episodes are quite patience testing because there's not much happening at all other than world building. This where intense fight sequences would have helped but theres none other than sex. The last 4 is where the interesting parts start coming in and the series salvages itself a bit.

The series is filled with tons of slangs and sex, kissing scenes of all sorts . Definitely not a family series. One more thing to note, the series has no black and white characters, all have grey shades to their personalities. An aspect i liked.

Venkatesh was really enjoyable as the funny yet dangerous Naga . He seemed to be enjoying the role . Rana Daggu as Rana might not be liked by all considering his one stern expression throughout the series but you gotto understand, that was what his role or character was. Ashish Vidyarthi stood out amongst all. Man he was an absolute hilarious ride especially his journey from Hyderabad to Mumbai part was the best. Sushant Singh and Surveen chawla come together again after Hate Story 2 and they did a pretty good job . Abhishek Banerjee was also terrific as his character of a rape victim is extremely tough to play .

Music is good as well . My favourite being "Meherbaan", gave that retro Bollywood music feel.

Overall, a strictly one time watch series. Doesn't leave you excited even for any more seasons.

Don't hesitate and give it a watch, I'm assuring you you'll not get bored but wanna aware it's filled with ,18+ contents (slangs, reference, nudity) not that much but still too much for Indian show but it's important for the character.

And a great chemistry between Rana & Venkatesh must say and Surveen chawla looked good no doubt apart from that all other supporting characters are also performed well and one more thing it's good to see all the Tv actors, south actor & bollywood actors together in a series and last but not the least I seriously loved the accent of venkatesh.

Thanks !!!!! Happy binging.

Pros : From starting to end, Its gripped storyline along with solid cast and acting. All roles are perfect and done justice with their respective screen time. Full marks to Ranna and Venkat for giving badass performance.

Cons : They can deal better with foundation of series where unnecessary put sexuality and minor sexual harassment (which is quite old now). Made benchmark to show higher class in such way which sometimes looks annoying and old fashion.

Netflix trying their best for Indian audiences. Its thrilling series which could be good time pass.

Rest is fine if you are not watching with family.

Rana daggubati acting is awesome and the all characters are do their best, and I liked all the series in the Rana Naidu and it could not been boaring! The brothers of rana in the Rana Naidu series are making their characters well, and the venkatesh daggubati the father of Rana Naidu and the coldwar between the Rana and venkatesh daggubati is making us anxious Naina who being the wife of Rana also she is excellent in the character and the Jaffa, OB Mahajan, sreeni, Tara all are done the best acting in the Rana Naidu series! The A rated movie is would be understang the settlements in the industry is clearly we get an idea about it by watching the Rana Naidu series!
