'Rang De' toys with the narrative trope of one-sided love, which unfortunately is bereft of nuance. As soon as he enters the scene, you can almost guess accurately what kind of scene is going to play out. There is a Professor whose dubbing artist usually dubs for don characters in Telugu movies. When Arjun has to be shown as a lovable man, the screenplay takes help from eve-teasers - not once but twice. In fact, it is the only constant for much of the film. Writer-director Venky Atluri overdoes the male lead's juvenile antipathy towards the female lead. In 'Rang De', lame first-night jokes, among others, act as a substitute for emotional heft. But such a characterization can click only if the jokes are strong enough to leave the audience in splits. You might argue, that's how comedies are supposed to be. The trouble begins when the man-child refuses to grow up even after a game-changing incident. This is staged as a juvenile comedy and that's fine. This peeves the hero, who starts hating her for being the villain of his life. The premise not only feels underwhelming but also gets farcical after a point.Īrjun's father is fond of Anu's discipline and intelligence. As for the guy, he is facetious till the pre-climax phase, busy as he is carping about Anu in the presence of every other character. But the way the story is narrated, we never have a sense of how much Arjun means to Anu. We are visually/verbally told Anu is in love with Arjun. In 'Rang De', an undercurrent of love takes root when we learn that Anu (Keerthy Suresh) yearns for Arjun (Nithin), her childhood friend who is constantly irritated that he is seen by his father (VK Naresh) as spectacularly inferior to her in almost everything. Cast: Nithin, Keerthy Suresh, VK Naresh and others
