Review: Colors' Rangrasiya

6 min ago | SiddharthaLaik

Show name: Rangrasiya

Channel: Colors

Leads: Sanaya Irani and Ashish Sharma

Director: Siddharth Sengupta

Producer: Nautanki Telefilms

Okay, how do we begin? Well, if one would ask us to define Rangrasiya in a sentence, we would not rake our brains a lot and utter, "It is a Kismi bar chocolate wrapped in a Dairy Milk wrapper".

I am sure one Mr Snowman of IF has written this! 😆 There was a similar topic in IF.

Oh, mars the level of profoundness? But that's the best we can give to the show given its technical superiority but archaic (like a Dinosaur egg) plot.

Only 4 episodes and the plot of the show (which normally runs for more than a year) has already been reviewed. As far I know the plot of the show is a love hate story . In what way its archaic? cuz it involves a village girl instead of a collage going girl? More than 50 percentage of Indian's does not belong to metros or any other cities. All of them are archaic for the reviewer!

Before moving on, we must mention that one of the benefits for viewers (and critics) reap from continued and sustained excellence in the drama field is that writers, directors and producers, perhaps feeling pressured to stand out even among the best, are experimenting more noticeably with tone, pace, structure and visual impact.

But alas, they fail miserably over and over again at the conceptual level. Nothing is really fresh these days on Indian television. Though the word creativity is overrated, still a certain amount of sparkle is expected.

Moving on, watch Rangrasiya and you would fathom immediately that it's come out of the head of Saurabh Tewari. The man thinks cinema but does television, which might not work all the time.

We are sure many have seen the show by now, and have realized that a chirpy and lively Paro (Sanaya Irani) is pitted against the angry young man Rudra (Ashish Sharma).

Chirpy and lovely paro? Did the reviewer wrongly tune into the post January 2012 episodes of IPK? Paro is anything but chirpy. In fact the leads speaks very less compared to many others.

They will meet, differences will crop up, situations will lead to them falling in love and blah blah blah.

While watching the first episode and the quick jump from the kids' childhood to the present day affair, did impress us. We thought, thank God the space is swift.

But what comes next forced us to pop an Aspirin or two. Slow motion close up shots of Sanaya Irani and Ashish Sharma (we know they are the leads, big deal...itna footage?),(Yes, The leads are good and has a sizzling chemistry and RR would like to sell that plus point. The idiot reviewer does not even understand the basics of marketing.) and over the top background score, forced us to reach for the remote to watch Arnab Goswami shouting his lungs out. Yes, at times even he is tolerable given the ludicrous nature of plot progression in daily soaps.

Sanaya beams through the desert ala Aishwarya Rai or Deepika Padukone from a Bhansali movie. Ashish's looks and expressions match that of a desert cactus. Sanaya, as usual comes across affable initially, then slips into her comfort zone of being amplified.

Amplified? err I am sure the reviewed might have seen the final ipk episodes or chanchan episodes instead of RR.

Ashish looks good on screen but hey...get a little more emotive and expressive. There's no harm in ample usage of your face muscles.
What really impressed us is the show's high production value (Produced by Nautanki Films-Saurabh Tewari and Abhinav Shukla) and the cinematography (Sanjay Memane and Anil Katke).

The shots are captivating and lend a lucid viewing experience.

Dialogues written by Raghuveer Shekawat are good but actors need to work hard on the diction part.

What really stands out is the setting, costumes (Ritu Deora) and the art direction (Sumit Mishra). Clap for the team in that front!!!

We have a suggestion for the creative team and director Siddharth Sengupta: cut down on the close up slow motion shots and yawning build up before scenes. A girl getting molested and being saved by the hero is so so clichd. You guys can do a lot better.

Rangrasiya is a show which is nothing special 😡😡😡but we hope the coming tracks would prove us wrong. And yes, we loved the title song (Sourav Kalsi). Power and energy to team Rangrasiya!!!

Its one average review for a show , which already has got some excellent reviews from other online portals like fuzion etc.

Donot over react and do not give TC so much importance . They had given a very good review for CC ...look what happened to the show , so maybe this is not such a bad thing. 😆

Chill guys , lets be mature 😊
