Rann Movie Review

What can you say about a film where the only thing in place is Amitabh Bachchan’s perfectly knotted tie?

Raan is poorly written, badly researched, and deafeningly sensationalist. Rann had the potential to be powerful drama but Varma and his writer Rohit G.

Here the tone is self-serious and dark, and the message lost in all the intensity. One is angrier with the film perhaps, because, the subject is so relevant.

Of the many films made on the media and its functioning, Rann will go down as one of the best ones. Ram Gopal Varma has brought to life a predictable but powerful script, backed by extremely talented actors and technicians.

For a film set within the world of television news, Rann is embarrassingly ill-researched and contains plot holes the size of craters.

The problem with Rann is that, save that one sequence and some interesting moments leading up to it, the film is a drag. At interval point, in fact, you aren’t even sure where the film’s going.
