Ranangan

It could have been a better film but it's stuck in too many cliche's in all the departments. It seems the makers are highly influenced by the melodramatic television shows. Everything in this movie is predictable. Neither Sachin nor Swapnil (or the surprise guest star casts) can help with a screenplay so immature that is supported by run of the mill direction. It's over dramatic throughout. Characters lack depth and each one tries to portray a caricature instead of a character (except Siddharth Chandekar who plays Varad, but again he has nothing much to do with his character). Swapnil Joshi tries to look menacing but fails badly, at times his expressions make the scene cringeworthy. Sachin Pilgaonkar's dialogue delivery is same as it was in the 80's. Good actors like Anand Ingle are wasted. Instead of providing relief, the forgettable songs in this film are badly timed. They add nothing to the story but instead stretch the playing time. The unrealistic and loud approach in every aspect right from lights, makeup, costume, sets create a polished uneasiness that makes the film lack lustre. Avoid it if you can.
