Rural backdrop of a fictional village and in the not-too-distant past of the ‘80s, Rangasthalam
defies a new box-office norms for Tollywood.

Ram Charan, who started his career with a lavishly mounted, big-budget movie Magadheera,
has shown no qualms in playing the role of an illiterate, semi-deaf village do-gooder, while one
of south India’s top heroines, Samantha Akkineni, is shown in a deglamorized role of a village
belle who keeps harping on the fact that she’s been to school up to sixth grade and nobody can
dupe her.

Rangasthalam follows a deep and strength-full storyline which made the movie to the next level.
In Rangasthalam, however, we have Ram Charan stand arm-in-arm with onscreen brother
Aadhi but at the same time fearful of his safety. This equation adds a refreshing twist to the
character of the hero.

Cinematography by Rathnavelu has added great value to the film. The chase sequence in the
night, especially when Chitti Babu is taken over by rage, is shot so well and accompanied by
great background score.

Prakash Raj is his usual self. A seasoned character artiste, he does full justice to his role as
Kumar’s mentor, but with a shady side.

Samantha Akkineni as Rama Lakshmi is charming. It is because of Rama Lakshmi that the fight
begins, making her incidental to the plot of a commercial movie. This is the first film in which
Ram Charan and Samantha have worked together, and their chemistry keeps the first half of the
film lighthearted.

Rangamma athamma, played by Anasuya Bharadwaj, is a memorable supporting character
whose equation with Chitti stands out. The film really belongs to director Sukumar who
manages to take up an age-old formula and make it work with his vision.

Talking about dance numbers, the film has one too. This time it’s Pooja Hegde as Jigel Rani.
BottomLine : At 2 hours 50 minutes, the film is long and could have been edited better.
