Rangabali presents an outdated narrative that is unfortunately packaged in a very old-fashioned manner. Despite a promising start with a humorous first half, the film’s potential is hindered by its weak script. Satya’s character provides much-needed comic relief and his impeccable timing adds some laughter to the otherwise lackluster plot. Naga Shaurya, despite his best efforts, struggles to salvage this poorly-written film. However, there are sporadic moments of chemistry and entertainment between the two leads that manage to captivate the audience. Additionally, the inclusion of the ‘Atul’ comedy brings youthful exuberance and garners applause.
Regrettably, the second half of the movie descends into a state of utter disappointment due to lazy writing and excessive reliance on cinematic liberties. It feels as though the first half, with its humor and charm, belongs to an entirely different world than the second half. The absence of the heroine in the latter portion further contributes to the disjointed storytelling. The flashback sequence involving Sarathkumar fails to have any meaningful impact, leaving viewers unaffected. Furthermore, the climax of the film falls short of expectations, leaving a sense of dissatisfaction among the audience. The intended message, conveyed at the end of the movie, fails to resonate.
Overall, “Rangbali” presents a missed opportunity to deliver an engaging and cohesive storyline. While the initial humor and Satya’s character offer glimpses of promise, the film succumbs to a lackluster second half, plagued by lazy writing and a failure to maintain narrative consistency. Despite occasional sparks of chemistry between the lead actors and the youthful appeal of the ‘Atul’ comedy, the film ultimately disappoints in its execution. A more cohesive plot and stronger character development could have elevated this film from mediocrity to something truly memorable.
