Analysis:-
Films made with low budget and with little known actors are being welcomed by Telugu audiences these days provided they are narrated in engaging and entertaining way. Annapurna Studios produced Rangula Raatnam is also a film that has simple story.
The film is directed by newcomer Shreeranjani. The woman director has not brought anything new on board for this regular plot but she has tried to present in womens angle. The mothers characterisation, the heroines fears and her reluctance are best example for this.
Rangula Raatnam doesnt come to the point immediately. The film starts off like a regular story and it turns sentiment story by interval.
Post interval, the movie again splits into two different themes. However, the interval sequence is emotional and also reminds us Dhanush starrer Raghuvaran BTech which had similar setup.
The film then goes downhill but thankfully comes to the point towards the climax sequences. The final scenes are handled well.
Two sequences stand out: heros shock value at sudden loss of his mother and hero hearing his mothers voice notes in the later part of the movie.
Despite feeble conflict, not so impressive romantic track, Rangula Raatnam offers some nice emotional sequences, and it also does have engaging final episodes. Sentiment is its trump card.
However, a better handling, an engaging narration would have made much difference. The uneven screenplay, low technical values, and boring romantic episodes have affected the mood.
Overall, Rangula Raatnam is regular romantic story made with high dose of sentiment. Those who like slow paced movies with sentiment scenes may like it but for others, it is a disappointment.
