With an underwhelming response to ‘Check’, Nithin's zeal and determination to offset that in ‘Rang De’ goes well for him and the plot too. Finding his match in Keerthy Suresh, riding high on the success count of ‘Mahanati’, the two combined to provide a joy ride for the trusted Telugu audience.

Knowing each from childhood has its advantages and disadvantages; Arjun and Anu are the boy and girl next door, whom you do not even give a cursory glance when they are up at each other's throat all the time. The parents have a knack for smelling the good things and in a good tide, the two tie the knot. There is the daring Anu not meeting Arjun’s expectations.

Fighting day in and day out is not the best advertisement for a marriage to hold its course. Venky Alluri, having proved his mark and mettle in ‘Tholi Prema’ and ‘Mr Majnu’, gets going from frame one. He ties the loose ends quickly and brings to light the joys and small pleasures in the young minds of a new couple.

Known for his penchant for serious roles - Nithiin doing the Telugu remake of Andhadhun, the actor showcases his comic side in a plot that hovers between the good and the bad. Emotions do run high but the actor and the director combine well to bring the lighter moments so essential to bring in not just the relief and sanity all over.

After all, it is not easy to be a breadwinner in a middle-class household where unexpected happenings creep in at the most unlikely moment.

Breathing life in his well-structured character, Nithiin is the willing cushion for Anu to lean on and enjoy her joy ride. As a woman, she does not have to play second fiddle, so easily brought in by the director.

The movie has an ensemble cast in the form of Naresh, Rohini, Suhas, Abhinav, Vennela Kishore, etc, and they deliver what is expected of them. And with an ace cinematographer PC Sreeman taking care of the visuals setting in the mood, the director is blessed.

Music has to be the soul where Devi Sri Prasad experiments with five songs of different genres, aided to a great extent by the lyrics of Srimani for all the numbers.

On the face of it, a routine love story is taken to a new high, thanks to a liberal content of emotions offset by the comedy elements. The one-liner dialogues are effective, drilling into the younger audience like a duck taking to water.

 


Verdict: A smooth ride sans clichés and glitches works in favor of Rang De.
