Performances
Arguably,
Rangasthalam,
marks
the
career
best
performance
of
Ram
Charan.
Carrying
the
role
of
a
hearing
impaired
character
isn't
a
cakewalk
and
Charan
has
nailed
it.
Charan's
makeover,
his
subtle
expressions,
body
language
and
overall
rendition
of
Chitti
Babu's
character,
will
carve
a
mark
in
the
minds
of
audience,
post
the
curtains
lower
down.
Samantha
has
once
again
proved
that
she
is
undoubtedly
the
best
female
artist
of
the
contemporary
generation.
She
looks
raw,
mouths
chaste
dialect
and
makes
us
believe
she
indeed
is
from
a
rural
backdrop.
Jagapathi
Babu
is
menacing
as
the
village
president
while
Aadhi
is
calm
and
very
much
convincing
in
his
given
space.
Anasuya
plays
much
an
older
self
and
has
scored
distinction
with
her
performance.
Prakash
Raj
is
given
a
limited
screen
space
and
yet,
has
delivered
his
usual
best.
Rest
of
the
casting
adds
their
share
of
value
to
the
movie.
Technical
Aspects
Rangasthalam,
is
a
technically
enriched
movie.
Every
single
technician
associated
with
the
movie
deserves
equal
applause
and
special
mention
at
an
individual
level.
Randy's
(Rathnavelu)
framing,
lighting
and
capturing
of
locales
are
captivating
throughout.
He
can
capture
the
emotions,
love,
scenic
beauty,
action
and
a
random
shot
in
an
equally
balanced
and
metaphorical
manner.
The
already
blockbuster
audio
by
DSP
gets
a
massive
booster
with
Randy's
amazing
visuals.
Art
direction
is
one
major
highlights
of
the
flick.
Recreating
the
magic
of
the
late
80's
decade
and
taking
us
virtually
into
the
movie
throughout
stamps
the
authority
of
the
art
director.
Not
often
do
we
get
to
see
a
movie
of
this
backdrop,
and
Rangasthalam,
gives
an
exquisite
feeling
while
watching.
Music
by
Rockstar
DSP
is
the
major
highlight
of
Rangasthalam.
If
Ranga
Ranga
Rangasthalam
is
foot-tapping
mass
beat
number,
then
Yentha
Sakkagunnave
gives
an
authentic
pleasant
feel.
Jigelu
Rani
will
woo
the
mass
audience
and
Rangamma
Mangamma
will
make
young
guys
fall
in
love
with
Rangamma.
BGM
just
takes
certain
scenes
to
another
elevated
level.
He
has
complimented
almost
all
departments
technically,
and
has
offered
a
wholesome
unlimited
package
to
Mega
Fans
to
whistle
and
dance
to
the
tunes
in
front
of
the
screen.
Sukumar
has
once
again
showcased
his
brilliance
and
technical
expertise.
There
could
be
no
other
T-town
director
who
can
get
into
the
skin
of
the
movie
and
render
micro
level
detailing.
One
more
feather
in
Sukumar's
cap.
Brief
Summary
Rangasthalam
is
a
straight
forward
drama
without
many
twists
as
the
screenplay
is
predictable.
The
narrative
is
slow
yet
riveting,
and
one
should
not
expect
a
typical
package
of
entertainment.
