silvan-desouza RGV in 90s and early 2000 was a great filmmaker, who introduced new styles of filmmaking and gave us SATYA,COMPANY.etc but post RGV KI AAG his films became horrible and had repetitive background music and weird camera angles. RANN is a decent film, though the excessive background music is there and weird camera angles too make their presence felt. RANN is about media and how news channels battle for TRPS, including political nexus.etc all seen before but well handled I wish however it was more realistic and authentic, RGV hasn't done proper research of media channels. There are some flaws too like Mohinish Behl revealing it all to Ritiesh and some other flaws.Direction is decent Music is okay,thankfully no songs in the film only background musicAmitabh Bachchan is typecast yet plays his part superbly, Ritiesh showed his talent here in serious roles and is superb Sudeep too is efficient, Rajpal Yadav is good, Paresh Rawal makes a comeback with villainous roles with this film and is superb, Rajat Kapur is as usual, Gul Panag is okay, Neetu Chandra is as usual, Suchitra is fab in her role, Mohinish Behl is superb in a negative role rest are good

Herag Halli Ram Gopal Varma and Manohar Bhandarkar have to save the Hindi Cinema from these Three Idiots from Filthystan. These scum suvvar rats who are put up on a pedestal by the Mumbai Media who are also from Filthystan. The Rat who looks like a shrunk prune wearing a designer armor is an ugly suvvar scum who has spent the money from the poor on outside India and this lowlife should be put in the same cell as Kasab. Then we have the midget who makes Anti Indian movies. Then we have the ape who has jello for brain. Looks like these three were released from some zoo in Filthystan. These maderchat benchods should be cleaning the toilet of RGV. The three scums should be kicked back to sewer them came from before they pollute the Indian cinema.The movie is well made with the behind scene look at the Media which is the most corrupt since most of the suvvar rats are fed by the Three Idiots and so only movies are recommended. These benchods have not integrity or morals as in the two sons here. The movie has some good acting by Bachchan and few others. This is not the best movie from Varma but there are some tell tale signs of his stamp.

Sharat Chandra The news is that old RGV is back on track.I was hoping for RGV to hit form at least in RANN after few craps like Contract, Aag and Agyaath. And guess what, He actually hit form in this movie. Trailers were promising and thats what took me to the theater. In the end I was really touched by this masterpiece which really went unnoticed. This was definitely one of the best works of RGV since Sarkar.The movie rightly exposes internal politics of the media and how the news are created instead of reporting the actual news. No wonder why the electronic media reviewers like Rajiv Masand, Anupama bashed the movie saying "Ill researched"!!!! Coming to the performance, Everybody from Rajpal Yadav to BigB has done justice to the character but Sorry BigB its Sudeep who steals the show with his terrific performance. Pros.. Almost everything..Cons Nothing really...Verdict: Get your copy of DVD right now

sumanbarthakursmailbox Rann is truly a well-made film. No two opinions on that. The film should be patronised by viewers of serious, sensible cinema.Rann is a serious film and Ram Gopal Varma knows what he's talking this time. It wouldn't be erroneous to state that you recall Ram Gopal Varma's Sarkar while watching Rann, even though the two films are as diverse as chalk and cheese. You recall Sarkar because Rann is an equally powerful film that shows a world we've only seen from the exterior. Rann is for those who enjoy serious cinema. It's more for the intelligentsia, for the thinking viewer. Definitely not for those who seek refuge in frivolous masala capers.
