'Rudrangi' Review: Serious Spoof Of Several Films

Film: Rudrangi Rating: 2/5 Cast: Jagapathi Babu, Mamta Mohandas, Vimala Raman, Ashish Gandhi, Ganavi Laxman etc  Editor: Nageshwar Reddy B  Camera: Santhosh Shanamoni Music: Nawfal Raja AIS Producer: Rasamayi Balakishan Director: Ajay Samrat Release Date: 7th July 2023

The trailer of the film revealed that it is set in the period backdrop of Telangana. The title sounds unique, and the content in the trailer looked impressive and pinned some expectations.

Let's see what the film has in store.

Story: The village of Rudrangi is under the rule of Bheemrao Deshmukh (Jagapathi Babu). He has a wife named Meerabai (Vimala Raman) and brings Jwalamukhi Deshmukh (Mamata Mohandas) as his second wife. Jwala is a strong and warrior-like woman. However, Bheemrao is not attracted to her as he fails to see her femininity. Don't know why he married and brought her in the first place. 

Meanwhile, Jwala, who is deprived of intimacy, becomes attracted to a slave named Mallesh (Asish Gandhi), who works under Bheemrao. 

On the other hand, Bheemrao is attracted to a village girl named Rudrangi (Ganavi Laxman). Who is she? What happens next forms the main story. The film also introduces the backstory of Bhujangarao (Prabhakar) at the beginning.

Artists' Performances: Asish Gandhi plays the protagonist but lacks acting skills. Although he has a muscular physique, his facial expressions are almost nonexistent. He maintains a static and stoic expression for most of the film. It's unclear whether this is due to his lack of talent or the director's inability to bring out the actor in him.

Ganavi Laxman plays the female lead and the title role. She delivers a decent performance but overall feels ordinary. She fails to embody the grace expected of her character.

Jagapathi Babu is too loud and appears artificial. His attempt at a typical Telangana accent comes across as a mockery. He portrays his character as a sex maniac throughout the film.

Mamata Mohandas plays another character who desires intimacy with the protagonist. She, too, is loud and at times overacts.

Vimala Raman plays a docile character, and her performance is reasonable and understated.

Prabhakar's performance in the initial part of the film is exaggerated and unbearable. His portrayal of cruelty feels forced and disgusting.

The actor who plays the role of Karanam comes across as an outdated sidekick with weak dialogues and average screen presence.

Technical Excellence: Technically, the movie is brilliant in some aspects. Art direction and costumes are good. 

The editing is fine, although some dialogues sound repetitive, which is a fault of the script. 

The dialogues are weak and delivered loudly. There is a lack of intelligence and sharpness in the writing. Everything feels loud and exaggerated, imitating popular films. 

The cinematography is adequate, and the background score is satisfactory. However, the songs, except for "Ee kshaname oopiragina samburame...," are dull.

Highlights: Art and costumes

Drawbacks: Weak story Poor dialogue Second half Climax

Analysis: Here Rudrangi is the name of a village as well as that of the female lead. Generally spoofs are made to generate comedy, but here it is a serious thing. 

The film appears to be a medley of movies like Bahubali, Rangasthalam, Magadheera and RX100 with scenes directly inspired by them. There is a lack of originality in the filmmaking style. The writing seems amateurish, making it feel like a grandly made stage drama with outdated standards. Certain scenes remind us of iconic moments from other films, but the emotional impact is nowhere near comparable. The film tries to imitate successful movies, including RGV's Bhairavageetha, but falls short. 

In summary, there is a lack of originality in the plot, ambience, and filmmaking style. It is a poorly made film that draws inspiration from contemporary films without offering anything new. There is an excessive buildup in certain scenes, but the content is weak. The inclusion of a madwoman who later appears normal lacks purpose and emotional depth. 

The first half shows some progression, but the second half revolves entirely around Rudrangi Vs Dora context. The biggest flaw lies in the script, which portrays the protagonist as a dull character with no heroism. 

The film fails to deliver poetic justice at any point. The villagers choose not to leave the village in spite of poor living conditions but succumb to the Dora's sexual desires which lack common sense and intelligence, taking the audience for granted. 

Overall, the film is a forgettable and tedious experience, with forced scenes and contrived narratives.

Bottomline: Ignorable

Rudrangi review: Jagapathi Babu shines in this not-so-convincing fictional story of the Nizam’s feudal era

The story of Ajay Samrat's directorial venture is set in a fictional village of the Telangana region during the feudal era of Nizam.

Published:Aug 10, 2023

Drama takes a backseat!

Rudrangi (Telugu)

• Cast: Jagapathi Babu, Mamta Mohandas, Vimala Raman, Ashish Gandhi, and Ganavi Laxman
• Director: Ajay Samrat
• Producer: Rasamayi Balakishan
• Music: Nawfal Raja AIS
• Runtime: 2 hours 22 minutes
• Cast: Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Emraan Hashmi, and Revathy
• Director: Maneesh Sharma
• Producer: Aditya Chopra
• Music: Pritam Chakraborty
• Runtime: 2 hours 35 minutes

Director Ajay Samrat’s Rudrangi is set in the pre-Independence era when Hyderabad State was under Nizam’s rule.  

Somewhere in the nondescript village of Rundrangi in the hinterland of Telangana, an aged man named Maisi wants to see Mallesh (Ashish Gandhi) and Rudrangi (Ganavi Laxman) get married before he leaves this world.  

Maisi is a slave under the feudal lord Bhujanga Rao (Kalakeya Prabhakar). He is forced to pay the price for refusing to work for the feudal lord and succumbs to the torture.

Young boy Mallesh revolts against injustice. However, he fails to take revenge.

Meanwhile, another feudal lord named Bheem Rao Dhora (Jagapathi Babu) gives him shelter and nurtures him.

How Mallesh avenges his grandfather’s murder? Will he unite with Rudrangi? How does the pervasive behaviour of Bheem Rao trouble Mallesh and Rudrangi? What the people of Rudrangi had to sacrifice in lieu of averting a possible famine in the region?

This is the story to watch out for in the second half.

Too fictional.

The story of Rudrangi is set in a fictional village of the Telangana region during the feudal era of Nizam.

The film portrays a vivid picture of social discrimination that was prevalent during the pre-Independence era when people had to face severe oppression from state-appointed Jagirdars (landlords) in the erstwhile princely State of Hyderabad.  

Deshmukhs have a firm hold of the regions in the interiors. People revolting against slavery are perfectly depicted through various characters in the film.

However, rather than making it more organic and natural, the director makes the script too fictional in the second half.

As a result, more than drama, you would have to wait for the scene to pass on to know what happens next.

Jagapathi babu’s show.

Kalakeya Prabhakar as an aggressive and violent landlord Bujanga Rao looks frightening on the screen and does a good job.

Jagapathi Babu as Bheem Rao Deshmukh, the arch-rival of Bujanga Rao, is the spine of Rudrangi .

The crooked and pervasive nature of sex-thirsty landlords gives Bheem Rao a distinctive tinge to his character. His Oxford education and despotic characteristic make Bheem Rao more beastly in appearance.

Jagapathi Babu’s mannerisms evoke laughter in a few scenes in the hall. A few one-liners like B*sedk and l**jakodaka are used as though to emote ferocity in the character.

But the impact gets diluted when the story lags behind. Jagapathi has his moments in Rudrangi though.

Mamta Mohandas is impressive in her role as Jwala Bhai Deshmukh. A warrior-queen, Jwala comes to the fort as the second wife of Bheem Rao.

Vimala Raman as Meerabhai Dhora gives her best.

Ganavi Laxma’s performance as Rudrangi is commendable.

Ashish Gandhi as a trained warrior in traditional warfare deserves laurel for his efforts.

Divi Vadthya’s peppy item number during the first half is good.

Producer Rasamayi Balakishan, too, is featured in the folklore song that coincides with the famous Nagoba festival held in Telangana.

Technicalities.

Rudrangi is rich in visuals, barring a few scenes. The cinematography by Santosh Shanamoni is appreciable.

Nawfal Raja’s music too is good.  

The editing should have been crisp in the second half. The scenes where people revolt against Bheem Rao and his death are too sluggish.

Rudrangi is not an extraordinary execution of the script. But the director does his best to narrate the story through the characters of those times.

The drama takes a backseat in the process as the story becomes too fictional.

Rudrangi Review

Rudrangi Movie(2023): What's Behind

Rudrangi starring Jagapathi Babu is generating immense interest as it is directed by Ajay Samrat who worked for Baahubali and RRR as a writer. The cast of Mamta MohanDas, Vimala Raman increased the curiosity and the teaser and trailer made an impact. The film's OTT partner is yet to be finalised and streaming will be after the end of its theatrical run. The film is releasing on 7 July 2023. Let us find out what Rudrangi got in store for the viewers.

Rudrangi Movie: Story Review

Rudrangi's story is all about how landlords even after independence oppressed the poor and downtrodden in a merciless manner.

The people of Rudrangi Village in Telangana after still under the rule of feudalism even after the Indian independence. They are oppressed by the likes of landlords (Doras). How the lives of Mahesh ( Asish Gandhi), Rudrangi( Ganavi Lakshman) get affected due to Bheemrao Deshmukh ( Jagapati Babu), Meera Bai( Vimala Raman), Mamatha MohanDas and Bhujanga Rao( Kalakeya Prabhakar) from the rest of the story.

Rudrangi Movie: Artists Review

Jagapathi Babu looked ferocious and menacing on the screen. He with his experience demonized the role increasing its intensity though it had routine shades. His menacing expressions through his eyes said many powerful words. His dialogue delivery though loud made a stunning impact. His body language and mannerisms showed that he did not act but lived in the role. However, his appearance looked quite odd and diluted the intensity levels.

Mamta MohanDas made a stunning return to the silver screen in Tollywood. She not only looked glamorous but her role filled with valor made a powerful impact. She made a strong presence on the screen and her dialogue delivery and accent are good though she fumbled at times. Vimala Raman is good as a loyal wife who couldn't raise her voice beyond a point. Ganavi Lakshman played the role of Rudrangi quite well. Her role is loaded with emotions and she did full justice.

Ashish Gandhi is the surprise pack. His introduction appeals to all and the high-octane scenes canned on him elevated the film to another level. Kaalakeya Prabhakar made his presence felt in a short but powerful role. RS. Nanda is good with his dialogues which are effective one-liners.

Rudrangi Movie: Technicians Review

Rudrangi's story penned by Ajay Samrat highlighted how the landlords crushed the poor and weaker sections in Telangana even after Independence. Ajay Samrat who worked as a writer for Rajamouli in RRR and Baahubali, wrote an intense action-packed story loaded with emotions.

He started the first half in an intense manner and highlighted the behavior, mannerism, and personality of various characters, he generated interest in dealing with the quadrangular love story. The first half is loaded with intense and powerful dialogues and emotions and it ends in an interesting manner with all the characters getting equal presence.

Many expected a similar kind of narration in the second half. However, Ajay Samrat concentrated only on two or three characters, and in the process, Mamta MohanDas who made an impact in the first half goes missing. This had an effect in the second half. Routiness crept in and emotions looked forced and much logic was missed in the second half. The climax seems to have been rushed.

The background score of Nawfal Raja Asi is good. It elevated the scenes and made a good impact. However, at times, it turned out to be loud. The songs are situational and the folk song shot by producer Rasamayi Balakishan is foottapping and impactful. Divi Vaidthya sizzled in a special song. Bonthala Nageswara Reddy's editing is good but could have been better in the second half. Dialogues are in sync with the story. The production values of Rasamayi Films are good.

Rudrangi Movie: Disadvantages

• Predictable Scenes
• Missing Highs

Rudrangi Movie: Rating Analysis

Altogether, Rudrangi is an interesting periodic fictional drama. Ajay Samrat got the optimum from Jagapathi Babu, Mamta MohanDas, and Ashish Gandhi. Little tweaks in the script and screenplay working on the story would have turned Rudrangi more powerful. Considering all these elements.  Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Rudrangi.

Starring:   Vimala Raman, Jagapathi Babu , Mamta Mohandas,  Ashish Gandhi, Ganavi Laxman, Kalakeya Prabhakar, and others

 Release Date :  7th July 2023

 Rating :   2.5/5

Rudrangi Movie Review:  Mamta Mohandas, Vimala Raman, Jagapathi Babu,  Ashish Gandhi, Ganavi Laxman, and others starrer Rudrangi, helmed by Ajay Samrat, has hit the theaters today on 7th July. Let’s see the story of Rudrangi.

 Story:  The film is set in the 1940s and is about Bheem Rao Deshmukh (Jagapathi Babu), a cruel man who has a passion for women,  and rules the people of his region without any mercy.  The movie revolves around the love between childhood sweethearts Mallesh (Ashish Gandhi) and Rudrangi (Ganavi Laxman), who find themselves entangled in a complex rivalry involving Bheem Rao Deshmukh and his dissatisfied second wife, Jwala Bhai (Mamta Mohandas).

Plus points:

·         Jagapathi Babu performance

·         First Half

·         Interval block

 Minus Points:

·         Lack of emotional depth 

·         Second Half

·         Action block

·         Climax

 Performance:  The versatile actor Jagapathi Babu delivers superb performance in the role of Bheem Rao Deshmukh, who is ruthless, and menacing.  Although he has done many films in roles with a negative shade, in this film, he has nailed it equally brilliantly.  His performance is clap worthy in many scenes. Ashish Gandhi also gives a good performance. The heroines Mamta Mohan Das, Ganavi Lakshmi and Vimala Raman who play another key role impress in their roles. The entire second half revolves around Ganavi Lakshmi’character. Vimala Raman is fine in her limited role. Mamata Mohan Das as Jwala Bhai highlights in the interval block.

 Technical:   The story of Rudrangi  is interesting. Music by Ais Nawal Raja and cinematography by Santhosh Shanamoni are impeccable. And when it comes to director Ajay Samrat, he has done good job.  The way Ajay Samrat has written the character of Bheem Rao is superb.  Though he handled all the things well till the first half but he faltered in the second half. This film would have been a complete package if it had been handled properly there as well. The production values are very good. The action sequences by Ram Sunkara and Jashuva, are just ok.

 Analysis:  Overall, Jagapathi Babu is seen as a one-man show in Rudrangi.  Mamata Mohandas and Ganavi also deliver good performances. The movie is interesting and engaging till the first half. But the real problem starts in the second half. This slows down the proceedings. Also, the main theme of the movie seems to have gone sideways. The story slows down in the second half which makes the movie boring. Along with these, the proper emotions are also missing in Rudrangi. It’s okay to some extent but it would be better to show some scenes better and faster.

ఇక కథలోకి వస్తే..ఈ చిత్రం 1940వ దశకంలో సెట్ చేయబడింది కాగా ఈ చిత్రంలో ఓ క్రూరమైన మూర్ఖుడు అలాగే ఆడవారి పట్ల అధికమోహం కలవాడు, తన ప్రాంత ప్రజలను ఎలాంటి దయ లేకుండా పాలించే రాజు భీమ్ రావు దేశముఖ్(జగపతి బాబు) కాగా అతడు అప్పటికే మీరాభాయి(విమలా రామన్) పెళ్లి చేసుకుంటాడు కానీ తనకి ఉన్న కామోద్రేక భావనలతో మరో స్త్రీ జ్వాలా భాయి(మమతా మోహన్ దాస్) ని కూడా పెళ్లి చేసుకుంటాడు. అయితే జ్వాలా తాలూకా స్వభావం నడవడిక భీమ్ రావు ఆమెని దూరంగా ఉండమని చెప్తాడు. అయితే ఓరోజు భీమ్ రుద్రంగి(గానవి లక్ష్మణ్) అనే మరో అమ్మాయిని చూసి ఆమె అందం పట్ల మోహితుడు అవుతాడు. దీనితో ఆమెతో ఎలాగైనా సరే శారీరిక సుఖం పొందాలని అనుకుంటాడు. మరి ఈ ప్రక్రియలో ఆమెకోసం భీమ్ రావు ఓ ఊహించని నిజాన్ని తెలుసుకుంటాడు. మరి అది ఏంటి? ఆమెని తాను వశపరుచుకుంటాడా లేదా అసలు చివరికి ఏం జరిగింది అనేది అసలు కథ.

ప్లస్ పాయింట్స్ :

ఈ చిత్రంలో మొట్టమొదటిగా మాట్లాడుకోవాల్సింది మాత్రం వెర్సటైల్ నటుడు జగపతిబాబు కోసమే అన్ని చెప్పాలి. తాను నెగిటివ్ షేడ్ ఉన్న పాత్రల్లో చాలా సినిమాలు చేసినప్పటికీ ఇందులో తన పాత్ర మరింత కొత్తగా ఉంటే దానిని అంతే అద్భుతంగా తాను రక్తి కట్టించారని చెప్పాలి. అసలు దయా దాక్షిణ్యాలు లేని పాలకుడిగా ఓ కామాంధునిగా పాత్రలో ఒదిగిపోయి అన్ని రసాలు అద్భుతంగా పండించారు. అలాగే తనపై కొన్ని సీన్స్ పలు మేనరిజం లు ఇంట్రెస్టింగ్ గా అనిపిస్తాయి.

ఇక మరో నటుడు ఆశిష్ గాంధీ కూడా మంచి నటన కనబరిచారు. తనపై డిజైన్ చేసిన సీన్స్ గాని జగపతిబాబు పై తాను తిరగబడే ఎపిసోడ్స్ కూడా నీట్ గా హ్యాండిల్ చేయబడ్డాయి. ఇక మరో కీలక పాత్రలో నటించిన హీరోయిన్స్ మమతా మోహన్ దాస్, గానవి లక్ష్మి లు, విమలా రామన్ లు అయితే తమ పాత్రల్లో ఇంప్రెస్ చేస్తారు. జ్వాలా భాయి గా మమతా మోహన్ దాస్ ఇంటర్వెల్ బ్లాక్ లో అదరగొట్టేసింది.

మైనస్ పాయింట్స్ :

ఈ చిత్రంలో ఫస్టాఫ్ వరకు ఇంట్రెస్టింగ్ గా మంచి ఎంగేజింగ్ గానే ఉంటుంది. కానీ సెకండాఫ్ లోనే అసలు సమస్య మొదలవుతుంది. ఇందులో ప్రొసీడింగ్స్ నెమ్మదిస్తాయి. అలాగే సినిమాలో మెయిన్ థీమ్ కూడా పక్కకి వెళ్లినట్టు అనిపిస్తుంది.

అలాగే సెకండాఫ్ లో నెమ్మదయ్యే కథనం సినిమాని చాలా బోర్ గా ఫీల్ అయ్యేలా చేస్తుంది. దీనితో సినిమా మరీ పెద్దదిలా అనిపిస్తుంది. ఇక వీటితో పాటుగా ఈ చిత్రంలో సరైన ఎమోషన్స్ కూడా మిస్ అవుతాయి. కొంతవరకు ఓకే కానీ ఇంకా కొన్ని సీన్స్ ని బెటర్ గా ఫాస్ట్ గా చూపిస్తే బాగుండు.

ఇక మరో పాయింట్ ఏమిటంటే సినిమాలో ఎంతో టెర్రఫిక్ గా చూపించిన మమతా మోహన్ దాస్ పాత్రని ఇక ఒక టైం కి వచ్చేసరికి కంప్లీట్ గా పక్కన పెట్టేయడం ఆశ్చర్యంగా అనిపిస్తుంది. ఇది కూడా సెకండాఫ్ లో బిగ్ బ్లండర్ అని చెప్పొచ్చు. ఇక వీటితో పాటుగా సినిమాలో యాక్షన్ బ్లాక్ లు సినిమా క్లైమాక్స్ ని ఇంకా బెటర్ గా డిజైన్ చేసి ప్రెజెంట్ చేసి ఉంటే బాగుండు.

సాంకేతిక వర్గం :

ఈ చిత్రంలో నిర్మాణ విలువలు మాత్రం చాలా బాగున్నాయి. మేకర్స్ ఖర్చు సినిమాలో ప్రొడక్షన్ డిజైన్ అలాగే నటీనటుల కాస్ట్యూమ్స్ లో కూడా కనిపిస్తుంది. అయిస్ నవళ్ రాజా సంగీతం, సంతోష్ షనమోని సినిమాటోగ్రఫీ లు పర్వాలేదు. ఎడిటింగ్ కూడా ఒకే ఏమన్నా చేసి ఉంటే సెకండాఫ్ లో చేయాల్సింది. ఇక దర్శకుడు అజయ్ సామ్రాట్ విషయానికి వస్తే..

ఈ చిత్రానికి తాను పర్వాలేదనిపించే వర్క్ చేసాడు. అయితే ఫస్టాఫ్ వరకు అన్ని థింగ్స్ బాగానే హ్యాండిల్ చేసిన తాను సెకండాఫ్ విషయంలో తడబడ్డాడు. అక్కడ కూడా సరిగ్గా హ్యాండిల్ చేసి ఉంటే ఓ కంప్లీట్ ప్యాకేజీలా ఈ చిత్రం అయ్యేది. జగపతి బాబు ఇతర మెయిన్ లీడ్ కాస్ట్ ను తాను బాగా డిజైన్ చేసాడు కానీ నరేషన్ విషయంలో కూడా ఇంకా బెటర్ గా వర్క్ చేసి ఉంటే బాగుండేది.

ఇక మొత్తంగా చూసినట్టు అయితే పీరియాడిక్ బ్యాక్ డ్రాప్ లో వచ్చిన ఈ “రుద్రంగి” లో జగపతి బాబు వన్ మాన్ షో అయితే కనిపిస్తుంది. అలాగే మమతా మోహన్ దాస్, గానవి లు కూడా మంచి నటన కనబరిచారు. అలాగే కొన్ని అంశాలు వరకు ఈ చిత్రం బాగానే ఆకట్టుకుంటుంది కానీ సెకండాఫ్ ని, పలు ఎమోషన్స్ ని కీలక బ్లాక్ లు బాగా డిజైన్ చేసి ఉంటే బాగున్ను. వీటితో అయితే ఈ వారాంతానికి కొంతమేర ఈ సినిమా ఆకట్టుకుంటుంది.

'బాహుబలి' మాటల రచయితలలో ఒకరైన అజయ్ సామ్రాట్ (Ajay Samrat) దర్శకుడిగా పరిచయమైన సినిమా 'రుద్రంగి' (Rudrangi Movie). తెలంగాణ దొర సంస్కృతి నేపథ్యంలో రూపొందించారు. జగపతి బాబు, ఆశిష్ గాంధీ, మమతా మోహన్ దాస్, విమలా రామన్, గానవి లక్ష్మణ్ ప్రధాన పాత్రలు పోషించారు. ఈ సినిమా ఎలా ఉంది? 

కథ (Rudrangi Movie Story) : భీమ్ రావ్ (జగపతి బాబు) దొర. భార్య మీరాబాయి (విమలా రామన్) బతికుండగా... మరో మహిళ జ్వాలాబాయి దేశ్ ముఖ్ (మమతా మోహన్ దాస్)ను పెళ్లి చేసుకుని గడికి తీసుకు వస్తాడు. తన సొగసు రాజ్యం ఎలుకోమని దగ్గరకు వస్తే ఆడతనం లేదని పక్కన పెడతాడు. దొరకు నమ్మిన బంటు మల్లేష్ (ఆశిష్ గాంధీ) మీద మనసు పడుతుంది జ్వాల. అదే సమయంలో వేటకి వెళ్ళిన భీమ్ రావ్ కంట పడుతుంది రుద్రంగి (గానవి లక్ష్మణ్). ఆమెను అనుభవించాలని అనుకంటాడు. అయితే... చేతికి చిక్కినట్టే చిక్కి జారుకుంటుంది. 

ఆ అమ్మాయిని వెతికి తీసుకొచ్చిన మల్లేష్... రుద్రంగి తన మరదలు అని, తమను వదిలేయమని చెబుతాడు. నమ్మించి రుద్రంగి మీద అత్యాచారం చేయడానికి భీమ్ రావ్ ప్రయత్నిస్తాడు. అప్పుడు మల్లేష్ ఎదురు తిరుగుతాడు. అతడిని జ్వాల మద్దతు ఇస్తుంది. ఆ తర్వాత ఏమైంది? మల్లేష్ గతం ఏమిటి? దేశానికి స్వాతంత్య్రం వచ్చినా దొర కింద బానిసల్లా బతుకుతున్న రుద్రంగి ప్రజల కోసం మల్లేష్ దంపతులు ఏం చేశారు? రుద్రంగిని అనుభవించడం కోసం భీమ్ రావ్ ఏం చేశాడు? చివరకు ఎవరు ఎవరిని ఏం చేశారు? అనేది తెర మీద చూడాలి.

విశ్లేషణ (Rudrangi Movie Review) : తెలంగాణ దొర సంస్కృతి, గడీల నేపథ్యంలో 'ఒసేయ్ రాములమ్మ'తో పాటు కొన్ని చిత్రాలు వచ్చాయి. అయితే... ప్రజల విముక్తి కోసం అప్పట్లో ఎంతోమంది ప్రాణ త్యాగాలు చేశారు. కొందరు మాన త్యాగాలు కూడా చేశారు. వాళ్ళ త్యాగాలకు అర్పించిన నివాళిగా 'రుద్రంగి'ని చెప్పవచ్చు. 

'రుద్రంగి' ప్రారంభం నుంచి ముగింపు వరకు ఎక్కువ సన్నివేశాల్లో భావోద్వేగాలు ప్రేక్షకుల్ని ఆకట్టుకుంటాయి. సీన్స్, ఎమోషన్స్ విషయంలో దర్శకుడు అజయ్ మంచి కమాండ్ చూపించాడు. ముఖ్యంగా మాటలు చాలా బావున్నాయి. అయితే నిర్మాణపరమైన పరిమితులు తెలుస్తూ అడుగడుగునా తెలుస్తున్నాయి. భారీ బడ్జెట్ ఇస్తే మంచి సినిమా తీసే ప్రతిభ దర్శకుడిలో ఉందని 'రుద్రంగి' చూస్తే అర్థం అవుతుంది. 

'చూసే కళ్లకు ఏం తెలుస్తది, మోసే గుండెకి తెలిస్తది', 'గుండెల నిండా కన్నీళ్లు నింపుకొన్నొడికి గొంతుల నుంచి మాట ఎలా వస్తది' వంటి మాటలు సన్నివేశాల్లో ఆత్మను తెరపై ఆవిష్కరించాయి. నటీనటులు తమ ప్రతిభతో ఆ సన్నివేశాల్లో భావోద్వేగాలను ప్రేక్షకులకు చేరువ అయ్యేలా చేశారు. అయితే... కథగా చూస్తే 'రుద్రంగి'లో కొత్తదనం లేదు. ప్రథమార్థంలో ఉన్నవేగం ద్వితీయార్థంలో లేదు. దొరకు బానిస లాంటి బంటు ఎదురు తిరిగిన తర్వాత ఏమవుతుంది? అనేది ప్రేక్షకుల ఊహకు సులభంగా అందే అంశమే. మళ్ళీ జగపతి బాబు క్యారెక్టరైజేషన్, పతాక సన్నివేశాలు చిన్నపాటి షాక్ మూమెంట్, వావ్ ఫ్యాక్టర్ ఇస్తాయి. విశ్రాంతి తర్వాత కథను వేగంగా నడిపి ఉంటే బావుండేది. కెమెరా వర్క్, మ్యూజిక్ బావున్నాయి. కైలాష్ ఖేర్ పాడిన పాట, ఆ సన్నివేశాలు వచ్చినప్పుడు గూస్ బంప్స్ గ్యారంటీ. 

నటీనటులు ఎలా చేశారు? : 'రుద్రంగి'లో అసలు సిసలైన కథానాయకుడు జగపతి బాబు. ఆయన పోషించిన భీమ్ రావ్ పాత్రలో ప్రతినాయక ఛాయల ఉన్నాయి. కానీ, సినిమా చూస్తుంటే ఆయన హీరోలా కనిపిస్తారు. నటుడిగానూ కొత్త జగపతి బాబు కనిపిస్తారు. నటనలోనూ కొత్త కోణం చూపించారు. ఆయన చేసే ఒక విధమైన గర్జన ప్రేక్షకుల దృష్టిని ఆకర్షిస్తుంది. 

జగపతి బాబు తర్వాత ప్రేక్షకులకు ఎక్కువ గుర్తుండే పాత్ర మమతా మోహన్ దాస్. దొరతనం, రాజసం కలగలిపిన పాత్రలో అద్భుతమైన నటన కనబరిచారు. విమలా రామన్ సైతం పాత్ర న్యాయం చేశారు. ఆమె చక్కగా నటించారు. మల్లేష్ పాత్రకు అవసరమైన కండపుష్టి ఆశిష్ గాంధీకి ఉంది. పౌరుషం చూపే సన్నివేశాలతో పాటు జగపతి బాబు పాత్రకు కట్టుబానిసలా చక్కగా చేశారు. 'వేద' ఫేమ్ గానవి లక్ష్మణ్, 'కాలకేయ' ప్రభాకర్ తదితరులు పాత్రల పరిధి మేరకు చేశారు. నిర్మాత రసమయి బాలకిషన్ ఓ పాటలో తళుక్కున మెరిశారు.

చివరగా చెప్పేది ఏంటంటే? : జగపతి బాబు, మమతా మోహన్ దాస్ నటన కోసం అయినా సరే 'రుద్రంగి'ని చూడొచ్చు. మాటల్లో, సన్నివేశాల్లో దర్శకుడు అజయ్ సామ్రాట్ కమాండ్ చూపించారు. పీరియాడిక్ ఫిలిమ్స్ ఇష్టపడే, చూడాలని కోరుకునే ప్రేక్షకుల్ని 'రుద్రంగి' మెప్పిస్తుంది.

‘Rudrangi’, produced by Rasamayi Balakishan, will be released in theatres this Friday(July 7). The film was advertised as a fusion between action, emotion, romance and revolution. Here is our review.

Mallesh and Rudrangi are childhood lovers who are married off by the former’s grandfather. The old man is tortured to death by a local Dora named Bhujanga Rao (Kalakeya Prabhakar). Mallesh runs away from the village and happens to save another Dora named Bhim Rao (Jagapathi Babu) from a murder attempt in a village named Rudrangi. This brings the child closer to Bhim Rao.

Fifteen years later, Bhim Rao opts for second marriage with Jwala Bhai (Mamta Mohandas). Due to an unexpected turn, Jwala Bhai’s behavior results in chaos in Bhim Rao’s family. Mallesh and Rudrangi get entangled in this.

Performances:

Jagapathi Babu is a seasoned actor. There is no character he has not approached as an endeavour in recent years. In ‘Rudrangi’, he goes the whole hog due to the excessive arrogance written into his character. At the same time, he is likeable in the portions where he brims with lust.

Ashish Gandhi is a conscious actor who doesn’t switch off the influence of other artists. Mamta Mohandas is superb. Vimala Raman as the first wife of Bhim Rao is ok. Kalakeya Prabhakar is unbearable. Divi Vadthya is seen in an item song. Ganavi Laxman is average.

Technical Departments:

Santosh Shanamoni’s cinematography was purely meant to give typical angles. There was no dearth of scope for the photography but the key technician merely scratches the surface.

Ais Nawfal Raja’s music is fashioned after movies that fall in the similar genre. The situations don’t encourage him to innovate.

The stunts by Ram Sunkara and Jashuva lack fresh imagination at a time when even teasers are expected to thrill the viewer.

Plus Points:

• The incidents narrated after the first 25 minutes till the interval.
• Jagapathi Babu and Mamta Mohandas.
• The interpersonal dynamics depicted in the Dora’s household.
• The last 15-20 minutes.

Minus Points:

• Some routine dialogues.
• Cliches associated with village dramas.

Convenient and predictable scenes in the second half.

‘Rudrangi’ has a decent storyline. The second half is dragged down by routine elements. The climax is outdated. The first half is interesting.

Telugubulletin.com Rating: 2.5

The Telugu version of the Malayalam film Manjummel Boys has now hit the screens. This is a survival thriller directed by Chidambaram. Let’s see how it is.

Set in 2006, a group of friends from Manjummel head to Kodaikanal for a trip. Their rival gang often go on trips and enjoy their lives to the fullest extent. Envied by this, the Manjummel Boys embark on a journey to Kodaikanal and visit Guna Cave there. During this visit, one of the friends falls into a deep pit which is also known as Devil’s Kitchen. No one who fell into that gorge has come out alive. How the Manjummel Boys saved their friend is what the film is about.

Plus Points:

Bringing real-life stories onto the silver screen isn’t a piece of cake. In the case of survival thrillers like Manjummel Boys, it takes a mountain of conviction to present real-life scenarios in an appealing manner. Director Chidambaram delivers a gripping tale that revolves mainly around human emotions, with friendship taking the front seat.

When one of the friends falls into the pit, we aren’t shown those visuals in a detailed manner. But we will quiver in our seats when that scene is shown in the latter half. The fact that it happened in real life will make us have a lump in the throat. From the moment the friends reach Kodaikanal, the movie gains momentum. The way the childhood portions are linked to the main incident is superbly done, and this segment makes us connect with Subhash’s character well.

Kudos to the production design team for crafting such a stunning set piece (Portions that happen inside the pit) which looks very realistic. The entire rescue operation will have us on the edge of our seats. This was possible due to the scintillating background score by Shusin Shyam and Shyju Khalid’s extraordinary visuals. The placement of the lovely track “Priyathama Neevachata Kusalama” is sure to erupt the theatres.

The best part is that the film doesn’t end with the rescue operation, but it also showcases Subhash’s post-trauma experience. Hence, Manjummel Boys scores brownie points for exploring this angle. Soubhin Shahir, Sreenath Bhasi, Deepak Parambo, Khalid Rahman, and all others did a wonderful job.

Minus Points:

Manjummel Boys takes time to grow on us, and the initial sequences of the first half aren’t engaging. The pacing is slow in the first half, and especially in the first 40 minutes, nothing much happens extraordinarily. The world-building and character introductions could have been better presented.

It is not that the initial moments are bad. In fact, they have a connection with the climax episode, but the way they are conceived isn’t up to the mark. Also, it gives a feeling that the movie is stretched. The film has a simple story, and hence, it isn’t a big deal to guess what happens at the end. The predictability factor slightly affects the experience. The director didn’t try to dramatize the real events, and hence, a few scenes could be underwhelming for a few.

Technical Aspects:

Ajayan Chalissery’s production design, Shijin Hutton and Abhishek Nair’s sound design, Shusin Shyam’s background score, and Shyju Khalid’s cinematography infuse life into this well-crafted survival thriller. The editing is good in the second half, while it could have been a little better in the initial hour.

Chidambaram’s direction is good and he also delivered on the emotional front. The way Chidambaram envisioned the whole incident and presented it on the big screen is commendable. Also, the film is a tribute to the legendary Kamal Haasan’s Guna and the beautiful Priyathama track. However, the first hour isn’t great, and this is one aspect where the film needed betterment.

On the whole, Manjummel Boys is an impressive survival thriller that is high on emotions, too. The second half is highly engaging, and the whole rescue operation and the manner in which it is shot are sure to leave us spellbound. Shoubin Shahir, Sreenath Bhasi, Deepak Parambol, and all others did a very fine job. On the flip side, the first half isn’t very engaging, and the pacing here is slow. Also, there is a bit of predictability factor as the climax approaches. The movie is solid technically, and hence, it deserves a theatrical experience. Recommended.
