An end of the year release which received a lot of praise from audience and critics alike but due to the dominance of films such as Venky Mama and Mathhu Vadalara, could not rake in good numbers at the Box Office. I was really curious about this film. After watching Dia though, it was almost certain Rajagaaru Ranivaaru should do wonders to beat it. It got released in Amazon Prime Video. How did the film fare out? Let's find out.
Rajagaaru Ranivaaru is a 2019 Telugu romantic drama starring Kiran Abbavaram, Rahasya Gorak, Yazurved Gurram, Rajkumar Kasireddy, Snehamadhuri Sharma among others directed by Ravi Kiran Kola. The story revolves around Raja. He loves Rani but fails to express it. The rest of the story revolves around will he expresses his love or not.
As I went through some of the iMDB reviews of the film, I came across the right sentence to describe the screenplay.Like a cool breeze on the face after a heavy rain. The director succeeds in bringing a feel to the film that carries throughout the film. It is a slow burn but yet engages us till the end. I guess this is the only film where a love story has no lead heroine for about 40 minutes. The 10 minutes where the heroine is seen, she never talked. That is quite amazing. The second half is very nice although the last 20 minutes seems to be stretched to meet up to the mark of 2hr. The director also has to be commended for how he has sucked the audience into the village setting. That is the major benefit for the story.
The acting in here is quite good although they lack experience. The lead hero has great acting chops. Sometimes, his eyes become expressionless but when it is required, he delivers. His perfoemance is restrained and subtle. Both him and the lead actress have little dialogue and more expressions to emote. The heroine turns out to be more successful than the lead hero. Her expressions are cute, sweet and her performance is charming. But, the meat of the film is actually the two friends Naidu and Chowdary who are right by the hero's side whenever required and provide for some key turns in the hero's life. They have got a natural comic timing especially Chowdary. Other actors deliver good acting performances in their brief appearances.
The technical aspects delivered well despite their budget constraint. Let us begin with the music first. They fit in well with the mood of the film and are soothing to listen. My favourites include the title track and the song which comes in the climax. The cinematography is beautiful. All the frames of the village is well done and how every colour just popped out is just mind-blowing. The editing is good but I do not understand why he opted to use some of the gimmicky stuff like rotating frames etc. I think they are a bit off with the setting of the film. The production design, make-up design and art department have to be commended to actually give some heart to the nature in the film.
How does this film fare in comparison to the recent digital sensation - Dia? Well, it is not recommended to compare both the films because one is a village setting and the other is an urban setting. The emotions differ but both films deliver the heart and love very well. I would want to know your opinion, Dia or Rajagaaru Ranivaaru. Post your opinion in the comments section.
Overall, Rajagaaru Ranigaaru is a well made love story in a village setting that sucks you into their world. This film is a recommendation for love story fans and people who want to support small budget Telugu cinema. Have a fun time and tune into RURS Reviews for more such reviews.
