Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Ritesh Deshmukh, Paresh Rawal, Mohnish Behl, Manisha Koirala, Rajat Kapoor, Gul Panag, Raima Sen
Director: Ram Gopal Varma
Producer: Madhu Mantena, Sheetal Vinod Talwar
Rating: 3.5/5
After giving many flop films, Ramgopal Varma seems to be bouncing back with his new release Rann’. Rann is a serious movie which exposes media, industrialists and politician’s connections. It also discloses media giants’ game that how they sensationalize simple news for popularity and ratings.
Written by Rohit Banawlikar ‘Rann’ is a social drama which is woven around the founder of a private news channel 24/7, Vijay Harshvardhan Malik (Amitabh Bachchan) who is a hardcore upholder of journalistic ethics. Vijay’s struggling channel is looked after by his son Jay Malik (Sudeep). Jay considers her father’s news channel purely as a business enterprise that must make profits to survive.
Vijay’s rival Amrish Kakkar (Mohnish Bahl) who was once his employee is gaining profits by making the news sensational.
The twist in the story comes when corrupt politician, Mohan Pandey (Paresh Rawal), a Prime Minister position aspirant, decides to use the channel 24/7 for his own advantage by using Vijay’s son-in-law Navin (Rajat Kapoor).
Navin who wants to be No 1 industrialist persuades Jay to make a deal with Pandey. The climax of the film is filled with great dialogues and powerful performance from Big B.
Performances of all the actors are good. Amitabh Bachchan has done full justice with his character and his dialogue delivery is quite impressive. Another actor who made his mark is Sudeep. Ritesh Deshmukh is nice in his role. But his part as investigator looks a bit confusing in the film.
Paresh Rawal, who enters in Ramu’s camp after a long gap, has delivered tremendous performance in a negative role. Rajat Kapoor is flawless. Mohnish Bahl too has given a wonderful performance.
Other actors like Neetu Chandra, Gul Panag, Nina Kulkarni, Simone Singh and Suchitra Krishnamoorthy are average. Rajpal Yadav has done a good job of adding some funny touch to a serious movie.
The strength of the film is its strong story and powerful performance. Solid dialogues are one more plus point of the film. The cinematography of Amit Roy is quite noticeable. Direction of RGV is amazing as usual. Background score of the film is impressive and music is good.
The movie gets heavy at some points which can causes boredom. There is no masala in the film so people who like light-hearted and fun-filled cinema might not appreciate the film much.
