Ranga Maarthaanda

Prakash Raj and Brahmanandam magnum opus. I had never this duo together except in comedic roles. But this heart wrenching story brings out the best in both of them. The dialogue between them re-enacting the dialogue between Dhuryodhana and Karna, during the last moments of Karna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra is so complex and yet so subtle, Words fall short to describe their incredible chemistry and performance.

The story items if a poetic ironical events that play out in the life of Prakash Raj's character, Ranga Marthanda. The story depicts the different characters that perform their play in the stage of life.

Must watch family movie.

Right from the start off the director's choice of outdated narration and dragged screenplay were slowly overlooked by the emotional connect that he's presented and character progression we come across throughout the movie.

One of the best emotional family drama, the movie runs on the lead actor's perspective with underlying concept of Indian theatres.

The occurrence of events in the storyline are quite realistic and relatable!!

The entire lead cast has showcased us the brilliance of the performance!!

As the new conflict points arise during the narration still the main motive always remained same which makes it a bit predictable... yet a good way of storytelling.

Many movies are coming in these days which are portraying artificial, imaginary world to us & we are getting mesmerized by those visuals & Grandeurness but this movie is another side of the coin, no action, no VFX, no graphics, no glamour, no nothing except the soul of experiences & emotions of people we see & we feel in our daily life.

Starts with a slow pace but engages you with the story.

Great acting by every artist.

Whether this movie will get acceptance or not by the masses but will move people with soft hearts.

Brahmanandam's acting was on the next level & top-notch performance compared to his previous comedy roles.

Those lengthy dialogues by both Prakash Raj & Brahmanandam will remember old Telugu movies.

But definitely must applaud both for delivering those dialogues.

What a dialogue delivery by both!

Particularly Shakespeare's dialogue by Prakash Raj is top-notch, he spelled & pronounced every word of Shakespeare with the emotion required Ramya Krishna's facial expressions & her acting were great Every actor was up to the mark.

Dialogues at a few places were too good.

A must-give try movie.

Must watch movie. You will learn how to respect your parents, your partner and your best friend. Please don't miss it. If possible try watch this movie with your kids and family. Thank you very much to Krishna Vamshi Gaaru🙏 for making this fabulous movie for us. Outstanding performance by Prakash Raj gaaru, Brahammananadam gaaru and Ramya Krishna gaaru. We want more movies like this. After watching this movie your not able to see into your parents and your in-laws eyes directly. After watching this movie I'm unable to control my tear's and I called my in-laws and I asked them to forgive me for mistakes. I'm very lucky to have them in my life.

Krishna Vamsi is back with an emotional drama that shows the sorrow and plight of a retired stage actor. The plot line is not the most unique, the movie is a remake of a Marathi film called Natsamrat (which I haven't seen), as it is telling a story of an older couple whose children are mistreating them. We have seen stories like this but the movie still has the emotions on point and elicits strong drama.

The first 15 or so minutes I felt like I was watching a 2000 or 90s flick, but I'm a sucker for that generation of films so slowly warmed up to it. Some of the actors like Anasuya really got on my nerves and I guess for the characterization it worked out that way. The editing of the trailer was choppy which made me lose hope on the movie, but that wasn't a big issue in the movie especially once you get invested in the drama.

The performances are the main highlight of the film. Prakash Raj lived in the role as Rangamarthanda Raghava Rao, it was not a new character for Prakash Raj but he makes you cry like a baby with ease. Bramhanandam is the man who you look at and immediately laugh, but in this movie man did he make us cry. That hospital scene and monologue was some of the best acting I have seen in a long time. I am glad Krishna Vamsi brought this angle out of him, and hope more directors use this side. Ramya Krishna is another actor who did just fabulously, she was so relatable as a soft mother and just lived in that role. Sivathmika Rajasekhar is a good actor and glad she did well in this film as well, though she needs to improve in emotional scenes. Good to see native Telugu actors acting in Telugu films.

The moral of the film is not on the nose and is just left for interpretation though it is guided by the narrative. We are shown to not mistreat elders and parents especially, and to show gratitude towards them. And from the side of Prakash Raj and Ramya Krishna's side it is shown to not fully trust anyone, it is shown that money can make anyone evil. And above all it is to learn from Prakash Raj to not lose yourself and realize that life is the biggest and grandest play of all. Some of the scenes in the films convey these beautifully without being on the nose or preachy like many films these days.

Krishna Vamsy is back after a long time and you can tell it's a Krishna Vamsi mark film and I am glad he has made a comeback after a string of hard to watch movies with extremely over the top acting.

Overall a good watch if you are interested in emotional dramas and want to see some present stalwart acting performances.
