rann - the movie

Today, to avoid the grueling task of sitting through another day at college with the increasingly tiring classes i decided to go watch a movie. Couples retreat? The blind side? Rann? Off course being a media student rann was the movie i chose.
Starting off with the most obvious beginning of the different types of news channels but ending on a very thoughtful note, rann comes across as a movie with a difference. In this current age where Bollywood seems to be exploring every disease on the medical journals and making a tear evoking movie out of them, rann seems to intentionally break the existing conventions.
Following the sarkar, sarkar raj band wagon Amitabh Bacchan has yet again successfully portrayed a very strong character. Riteish Deshmukh has used this movie to discover a different side of his talent. His acting skills have been polished over the previous movies and finally reached a slight shine and smooth texture in this movie. Paresh Rawal, as usual has kept up his character successfully transforming from a rib tickling comedian to a rage evoking politician. Gul Panag and others have (though playing a very small role) managed to glue the story together into a no-popcorn, no-blinking issue.
The story, at a very nail biting pace unfurls its twists and turns to portray media as a pure business issue. Amidst the corporate warfare of the business of news presenting, the movie also presents another face of media. The face that is driven by pure passion of the profession and the
sentiment of social service.
Overall, a smart and well made film.
