Rules Ranjann is a film that has been promoted a lot in the last few days. The film has been released today and read our review here in detail.
Story:
Manoranjan (Kiran Abbavaram) hails from the small town of Tirupathi. He lands in Mumbai and wants to make a name for himself in the city. In this process, he gets a job at a software company and pretends to be someone called Rules Ranjann. He also wants to win the heart of a special girl named Sana(Neha Shetty. But as the story goes on, Manoranjan starts breaking the same rules he used to enforce on his coworkers. The story explores why he broke the rules and what kind of issues he faced because of it.
Analysis:
The story of Rules Ranjann written by Rathinam Krishna, unfortunately, didn't bring anything new to the table. From the beginning, it felt loaded with clichés and outdated story elements. The storytelling stayed predictable throughout the movie. In the first half, there was an attempt at humor that came off as silly and didn't entertain well. The situation got worse in the second half when the setting changed from Mumbai to a rural village, making it harder to engage the audience.
Kiran Abbavaram did a decent job in his role. He showed different emotions, body language, and tried different ways of speaking to bring variety. Neha Shetty did well in her role, even though she didn't have a lot of screen time. She looked attractive, especially in the songs where she looked alluring. Meher Chahal had a limited role to work with. Vennela Kishore brought humor to the first half of the film, which was set in Mumbai.
The background score by Amrish didn't leave an impression, and except for the popular song Sammohanuda, none of the other songs managed to appeal to the audience. The cinematography by Dulip Kumar fell short of expectations and didn't even meet the basic requirements. The editing seemed lackluster, but that might be because there wasn't much to work with in the first place.
In the second half, the humor responsibility shifted to Viva Harsha, Nellore Sudarshan, and Hyper Aadi. They tried hard to entertain the audience, but their humor was conventional and somewhat outdated, not appealing to everyone. Director Karthik Rathinam seemed to struggle to get the best out of the cast, but the weak characterizations were more to blame than the actors themselves.
Verdict:
On the whole, Rules Ranjann is yet another dud in the career of Kiran Abbavaram. The film has a strict few laughs but the rest of the proceedings are cringe-worthy as nothing clicks in the film and ends as a miserable watch this weekend.
