Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
kaushal agrawal A great Indian movie reflecting how India restored her historical temple of culture and civilization, gods and goddesses, people and rulers. The movie is filmed a century backwards, and it captures the social elements which has been the main reason why the Indian history has not been fostered by its people so long.The central character, who is an independent painter, gets inspired with Indian goddesses via a lady he meets in a temple. His talent of painting is his life. Being a human, he can not live with his talents spirited away by new technology of cinematography. He quits painting but gets trapped by law for spreading nudity and false image of gods, in words of a famous community leader. Airs get cleared when he explains his intentions behind these paintings which prove to be an unforgettable contribution in bringing back the nation's history and culture.The movie is plotted in Kerala, a south Indian state and it holds a very nice illustration of people and families living there. Visual effects have been successful in rendering the lifestyle those people enjoy. The movie shows how gods in India descended from temples to homes and everywhere, how the third class of society got access to public worshiping. It reflects existence and functioning of social division of 'varnas' which was very prominent in India a century ago.The movie ties up with chronological events like revolts in late 19th century, formation of Indian National Congress, spread of plague etc. It also shows France introducing cinema to India, leading to the formation of Indian film industry by Dada Saheb Phalke, a constant side-role in disguise.Overall, a great movie with almost no flaws, successful in its goal of introducing the viewers to early Indian culture.
kichdi Rang Rasiya is a movie everybody should watch, the lead played by Randeep Hooda & the talented beauty Nandana Sen. The movie takes you through the late 18th century & early 19th century when religious vandals ruled freedom of speech, art & expression. Raja Ravi Verma championed this cause & eventually won the battle. Rang Rasiya is a masterpiece which is on par with the greatest of world cinema or even better than most. The narration is so smooth, acting is superb, sets dating back over a century is also so immaculate & sex is refreshing to see in Indian cinema. Randeep & Paresh have done superbly well. Nandana looks stunning throughout the movie so is the Scottish girl. Hope there are more movies like this coming which are true to the script.
deepak_lucky Rang Rasiya or Colours of passion revolves around the life of the painter, Raja Ravi Verma of Travancore. The painter is married to a queen who does not have high regard for his work. But in places where art stinks is also the same where it finds inspiration.He finds his muse in Sugandha, Nandana Sen.While she's dressing up one morning, he asks her to stay and paints her. A new subject rekindles his interest and he begins to paint. But there are also protests from a section of society, which the film tries to depict. The accusations are mostly on grounds of 'immorality'. .The painter is frequently pulled into courts, where questions "Do you live at your wife's house and do you squander your time at the palace " are put to him. Nandana Sen has carved a role for herself in the film and Randeep Hooda has played an artist-who-is-not-dazed role to an applaud. Tom Alter, as an English judge, appeared as an understanding-British- judge. The film imbues the pre-independence setting at a local level pretty well on the screen. The moments where the painter and the muse make love, is so beautifully painted, is like aesthetic health to the audience.Rang Rasiya is an unorthodox treatment of an artist -fighting- society-and-back-theme in the celluloid world. And to treat it with the maturity of an Indian audience is quite a feat. The music grows well into the film. The film reminded me of "Frida" by the American Broadway and film director, Julie Taymor. A question arises, is it unfair to a woman, who's a subject to a painter, to feel neglected on account of the painter's interest in many subjects during his development process. Do go and experience colours of passion!
Diezel Glax Rang Rasiya - first of all, Hats off!! to the team for persisting with the final print. It takes courage for the cast, especially Nandana Sen, to deliver content as bold as this. The frontal nudity was handled perfectly and given just the right amount of attention it deserves. Nothing more. Nothing less. Just like Sunny Leone coming to Bollywood, this movie is a very very bold move and am glad that the movie hall full of grown ups handled it maturely. Good to see India progressing!!!Coming back to the movie, too much content to be covered in too short a time. Would have been great if the movie focused on Raja Ravi Verma and his protagonist as the story felt too boring at times.
