Raanjhanaa (2013)

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

A lot of fun.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This is a kind of movie which promises to deliver but unfortunately failed to deliver.If the good points are considered at first,then it must be Dhanush and the plot of the movie.Baring the little and blunt narration Dhanush was superb with his acting followed by good support from Sonam Kapoor and Abhay Deol.The plot was powerful but somehow I felt that it was not presented well.The first half was wacky while the second half had much to deliver.Again there were scenes which we had to accept but they were actually very incomplete.Hence a lot of questions were left behind in our minds.Kundan eloped with Zoya from hospital..But How?We don't know..Jasjeet died..But How?We again don't know.We are simply introduced to the mourning ceremony of a man who was on his way to recovery the previous moment.Yet there were certain twists and turns which kept us guessing.Apart from all this,the script is quite different from the love stories we usually see.Direction was not that good either,that's why ended up in a haphazard and clumsy movie.Thumbs up for the music.Good work from A.R Rahman. I don't know how people were overwhelmed seeing this movie.Hence, I expected much more but was disappointed.To me its just an above average entertainer. Watch it for Dhanush and an unusual plot.Forget the rest of it.

I avoided this movie when it released because I was a writing a screenplay and backdrop of my story was Varanasi too and people told me till now no one has shown Banaras as it has been portrayed in this movie. Yesterday I watched this movie on it's TV premiere and i was spellbound, for a single second I could not find any actor Kundan (Dhanush), Zoya (Sonam, Bindiya (Swara Bhaskar) and Murari (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub) they looked like typical Banarasi and they took this movie to another level. Story is always a base of any film and this film delivers, except few scenes in second half you cannot pinpoint on anything, screenplay, dialogues, acting, excellent. one-liner was highlight of this film and most of them you can find in the gallis of Banaras. If Dhanush ruled the first half as innocent lover, Sonam Kapoor was awesome in second half. overall I will count this movie as one of the finest work of Hindi Cinema. Hats off to it's Director Mr. Anand Rai, I give it 9 out of 10 for a complete film.

It is said that there are 4 famous Shakespeare tragedies....After watching Ranjhaana....I wondered if Shakespeare was alive and watched Ranjhaana, he would have definitely written the 5th.Ranjhaana is a simple love story set in the holy town of Benares and ends on a tragic note in Delhi. They says 'Love is Blind'....the movie shows that love when blind has no boundaries and cannot differentiate between good and bad.The movie starts off well, loses steam in the 2nd half but the ending is tragic but brilliant. The writing and dialogues is poetic and spices up the film. Performances by the leads is outstanding especially Dhanush. Dhanush proves that language is not a barrier for any actor and excels in his Hindi debut. You feel his emotions . Sonam puts a good performance especially in the last 15 mins ans proves that she can act. Special mention to Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub & Swara Bhaskar who play Dhanush's childhood friends. Except for the half hour in the 2nd half where the movie meanders, its a excellent movie and a must watch !!

the movie was going quite good until the interval,it was fully guided what to do but after the inteval there was no need to involve political theme in the film that truly has led the entire movie down..i was expecting a very good in fact best 2nd half from the director but he didn't came to my expectation..dhanush was truly brilliant throughout the movie , abhay also played a good supportive character but it was also the storyline which led everything down in the end.. you just have to see this movie though because it will make you cry the ending was awesome.. one of the best ending i mean it in a emotional way it was one of the most emotional ending of a Hindi movie ever...
