Raanjhanaa
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...a poetic journey for a film lover.
-
In the first half, it is an interesting, intense, introspective love story, where you empathise with the characters. In the second half, the love story gets diluted to make way for gobbledygook political ideology that is an irritant.
-
...encompasses romance and myriad emotions most wonderfully, besides bravura performances and a popular musical score from the maestro.
-
The vibrant, recognizable human tableau that unfolds in the background gives Raanjhanaa a distinctive feel.
-
Plummeting to the depths of darkness and rising beyond unconditional love, the film shows us myriad shades of love – both delightful and devastating. How many stories do that?
-
...It is arguably the best love story of the year so far, the kind of film others in the genre should aspire.
-
Watch this at least once, for many reasons. Dhanush is the main one.
-
...an intense love story which is much more.
-
Raanjhanaa’s narrative comes with minor flaws but they’re almost negligible in the wake of its emotional impact.
-
...despite these flaws, I’m recommending that you see it. Especially for Dhanush who proves that eventually looks don’t matter. Neither does size. All that towers is talent.
-
This should do to Dhanush what Saagar did for Kamal Haasan and what Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa did for Shah Rukh Khan. India will fall in love, again.
-
...isn't easy viewing but works thanks to Dhanush's powerful performance and A R Rahman's score.
-
...despite its flaws in the story is one of the best romantic films of the recent times.
-
Watch it for Dhanush and Sonam's performances and some colourful one-liners and dialogues.
-
...may not be a perfect story but it sure is one of the best romantic films of the recent times.
-
...is quite engrossing.
-
...the lead performance shines, the writing complementing it. Rahman’s music set to the tragicomic beats of this man’s life makes Raanjhanaa a film to watch.
-
For its immensely entertaining first half, a winning score by AR Rahman, but most of all for Dhanush, this is a film that's worth your time.
-
...harks back to the way Bollywood used to make love stories once upon a time. With some imagination, the effect would have been nostalgic, too.
-
...a fairly enjoyable film, aided by a fast-paced narrative, a hummable score by AR Rahman and a great central protagonist.
-
Post interval, it comes unstuck, and squanders its gains. If Raanjhanaa had kept its tone intact, it would have been a great love story.
-
I was left with mixed feelings, torn between admiration for what was being attempted and frustration that a film dealing with such serious subject matter had chosen to take an audience-friendly approach, showcasing its protagonist as someone you just can’t help loving.
-
...confused, confusing, all over the place and, beyond a point, tiresome and dull.
-
...is entertaining enough at times, in the end, it feels - as a friend said - "like 7G Rainbow Colony and Kaadhal Kondein dubbed in Hindi".
-
Shockingly, this film seems to endorse stalking and sexual harassment.
