This is one such film which is meant more for its audiences than the box office. LAAL RANG not just experiments with a different concept, but also gives hope to filmmakers willing to experiment something new without being concerned about the box office results. Placed in a manner that most action films avoid, they give a great amount of excitement. The action sequences too deserve a mention for they are highly impressive. He has handled many sequences extraordinarily, especially the entire pre-interval episode and the climax, including the twists and turns which are well-woven into the tale. Director Syed also deserves a lot of praise for maintaining a lighter tone and adding rib-tickling humour which is quite natural and ACTUALLY hilarious. But our love is the highest award he can get. He deserved an award for this act, which he unfortunately didn't get. His expressions in the second half are not easily portrayed by most actors. See him emote and you'll laugh, cry and be angry along with him. Most of the sequences are commanded by our own superstar Randeep. The sequences involving the latter are simply the most hilarious as well as entertaining, especially in the second half. Each and every character is written in such a manner that all of them end up being memorable, especially Pushpendra played brilliantly by a skilled Rajendra Setiu and Shani Baba played by the hilarious Kumar Saurabh. So, it's simply the most refreshing film in terms of concept.
The conconcept he has presented has, believe me, never before been attempted in the history of cinema. Director Syed Ahmad Afzal does an excellent job by handling the subject extremely well. Special mention should go to the supporting cast for giving performances and breathing life into their characters. Rajneesh Duggal finally does something which is commendable. Same for Meenakshi Dixit and Shreya Narayan. Pia Bajpai is fine and decent in her character. He performs even better than what he did in his jaw- dropping horror thriller PIZZA. Akshay, too scores extremely well with his performance. His bonding with Akshay Oberoi is both realistic and heartwarming at the same time. He has provided a great display of his Haryanvi accent, given that he comes from Haryana. Randeep Hooda is the man who makes LAAL RANG rise even higher, as his top-notch performance will have you rooting for him totally. By the way, these are not the only reasons. Its realistic connect, well-handled and stirring emotions, highly impressive action sequences, naturally tickling humour and the message delivered by the film are some of the major reasons why the film LAAL RANG works. Movie: Laal Rang (UA) Rating: 4.5/5 I have never enjoyed a film of this kind before to this extent: the film redefines the genre in the best possible way.
