Plot

Abhi (Likith Shetty), who is from a broken home, leads a sad life until he falls in love with a college mate named Bhoomika (Amrutha Iyengar). However, things soon take a spooky turn when an unlikely kindred 'spirit' helps him in wooing her. The chance encounter with the ghost (Rangayana Raghu) gives Abhi a new life but things get complicated when the ghost realizes that their destinies intervene on a deeper level.

This film begins with the introduction of Abhi’s broken family and how he has to shuttle between his parent’s two homes, because they have joint custody. Abhi’s father (Achyuth Kumar) divorced his mother and has been married twice since. Soon, Rangayana Raghu appears as a ghost who also has a love story of his own. From here begins a ridiculous comedy of errors, with Abhi wanting to help the ghost and vice versa.

Review

The director manages to keep us entertained with the connection between the ghost and Likith Shetty’s character. The story bounces back and forth between various flashbacks, which provides us with the characters' motives. The supernatural twists do come with a few problems, but eventually, the film manages to hold its own and entertains us in the end.

What helps in elevating the film are the dialogues, the background score and the quirky characters which are ably performed by a host of supporting actors. The cast has a mix of many seasoned veterans who provide the viewers with their share of laughs whenever the momentum developed by the story takes a beating.

Likith Shetty gives a sincere performance while Amrutha Iyengar supports him ably with her role as a social media-obsessed girl. Sadhu Kokila, Achyuth Kumar, Padmaja Rao, Sihi Kahi Chandru and the entire extended cast perform well as well.

Verdict

We give 3.0 stars out of 5 for Likith Shetty-Rangayana Raghu’s Family Pack.
