Naga Shourya’s latest movie is ‘Rangabali’. The Satya spoof video brought a lot of publicity before its release. New director Pawan Basamshetty’s comedy timing on a TV show caught the attention of the audience. And how was the movie?


Rangabali Movie Story

Shaurya (Naga Shaurya) is Rajavaram. The father is taking care of the family maintenance and responsibilities with the income from the medical shop. The father’s plan is to hand over the shop to his son, who studied B Pharmacy. But… Shaurya wears a white shirt and takes a step forward. The center is full of cutouts of photos taken with MLA Parasuram (Shine Tom Chacko). 

Even the name of the drug is not well known. Shaurya boards the bus to Visakha when his father insists that there is no profit. There he goes for pharmacy training in a medical college where his father’s friend is the dean. He falls in love with Sahaja (Yukti Tareja). Sahaja’s father (Murali Sharma) also initially says okay to their love and marriage.

Originally, how did the center get its name? What efforts did Shaurya make to change that name? Why did Shaurya and Parashuram, who are like brothers, have quarrels? What finally happened? is the rest of the movie.


Rangabali Movie Review

Have you seen the trailer of ‘Rangabali’? Nagashaurya says a dialogue saying ‘Are you still using these dialogues, Bhai?’ After hearing that… ‘Are you still making such films?’ There were also satires on social media. However, the buzz of the movie is due to Satya’s spoof interview video and director Pawan’s comedy timing in the TV show!

No matter what the story is, the audience comes to the theater to laugh if the comedy is properly worked out. An example is… ‘Samajavaragamana’. This ‘Rangabali’ runs with comedy from start to finish. However, after the break, the comedy subsides after going into the actual story. It ended in a variety of walks until the climax. Not impressive at any stage. Rotta Kottadu routine masala!

Mixing comedy in commercial stories is an art. Some directors know that technique. When I saw the scenes of Shaurya and Satya in ‘Rangabali’, I felt that the new director Pawan Basimshetty has that talent. Even if some double meaning sounds in the dialogues… they are passed with comedy. If the scenes are coming after the interval… did the director who shot the first half also shoot the second half? Or was it directed by someone else? Doubt that. 

None of the scenes in the Faktu commercial style are impressive. Twists, flashback episodes, scenes… everything is routine. Sontoor sentiment, emotions between father and son, none of the emotions worked out. At the climax, the name of the center will be changed. That new name, the change was too comedic.

Stories like ‘Rangabali’ need songs for strength. But, should not be a minus. There is no proper placement of the vocals given by Pawan CH. Those songs are soso. The item song is not really good. Even the picturization of that song! Background music is just ok. Diwakar Mani’s camera work brings the commercial mood. There are scenes where the editor has to cut to the chase, some before the interval and many after. If the comedy tempo had continued after the interval, the result would have been a blockbuster. There, many news channels tried to do comedy on the live coverage of Saptagiri. Didn’t work out, didn’t it?

Rangabali Movie Actors Performance

Nagashaurya has the cut and physique required for a commercial hero. In one scene, he took off his shirt and showed his packed body. Dialogue also says that bodybuilding is not to hide like a girl. The heroism would have been elevated if the story had been accompanied by the right scenes. The scenes were written to elevate the hero.

In the song that comes after the interval, the heroine Yukti Tareja has lost a lot of glamor in a song. Looks and acting are just ok. Satya gets more fame than the hero in this movie. Till the interval, Sathya Comedy is full of laughs. Murali Sharma, Goparaju Ramana, Saptagiri, and other actors are routine characters.

Finally what? : ‘Are you still using these dialogues?’ Before writing the dialogue… ‘Are you still making movies with this kind of stories?’ It would have been good if director Pawan Basamshetty had thought about that. He has good comedy timing. It would be better if it falls into a good story rather than the same old routine. Satya’s comedy hit in ‘Rangabali’, only Satya’s comedy hit! The result of the film is fut!
