‘Rangrezz’ is a tale of friendship, with a love story integrated in the plotline. Sadly, it runs out of fizz in its post-interval portions, after leaving quite an impression in the first hour. The movie has a simplistic plot, humble setting and straight-forward storytelling. ‘Rangrezz’ arrives without the usual frills and trappings of a masala movie. The story is not path-breaking, but, what works in the first hour at least is the realistic milieu and the age-old philosophy that enduring friendship can overcome all odds, with friends standing by each other through thick and thin. Priyadarshan and writer Mushtaq Shiekh incorporate a number of sequences that stay with you - some sweet, some true-to-life and some funny. The protangonist, Jackky, shows shades apart from the one he portrayed in his earlier movies and he pulls it off with supreme confidence. Stepping out of the comfort zone, Jackyy gets to portray a character that has varied shades and he enacts his part with complete understanding. Rajpal Yadav entertains every time he appears on screen. On the whole, ‘Rangrezz’ has an impressive first half, but loses focus in the post-interval portions. One definitely expected more!
