Naa Saami Ranga Review: Naa Saami Ranga, directed by Vijay Binni, is an adaptation of the Malayalam hit Porinju Mariam Jose, released on Bhogi, aptly aligning with the timeline in the story. The film, starring Nagarjuna Akkineni, stands out in the commercial cinema sphere, particularly captivating the actor’s fan base. It is a harmonious blend of drama and action, sustaining viewer engagement over its two-hour and twenty-six-minute duration. Noteworthy is the film’s authentic depiction of village life and a captivating love story, featuring strong performances from its lead actors.
Kudos to Vijay Binni, who beautifully adapted the original for the most part to suit Telugu sensibilities and Nagarjuna’s appeal. He intricately weaves through the complexities and nuances of rural life, exploring the depth of relationships and societal dynamics. Vibrant frames by cinematographer Shivendra Dasaradhi and mood-appropriate music by Oscar-winning composer MM Keeravaani help in providing a wholesome experience.
The love story between Kishtayya and Varalakshmi is beautifully portrayed. Nagarjuna delivers a stellar performance, infusing his character with unique charm and depth. Varalakshmi is a sight to behold and impresses with her acting. The emotional bonds between the characters, especially between Kishtayya, Anji, and Bhaskar, add substantial weight to the storyline. Allari Naresh, playing Anji, definitely helps in elevating the film. The other members of the ensemble cast, including Rukshar Dhillon, Shabeer Kallarakkal, Ravi Varma, Nassar, Rao Ramesh, and Madhusudan Rao, excel in their supporting roles. Shabeer Kallarakkal, in particular, stands out for his menacing portrayal of Das.
Naa Saami Ranga is a beacon of hope for Nagarjuna’s return to prominence in the commercial cinema sector. The film’s successful amalgamation of mass appeal, a compelling narrative, and emotional depth makes it a commendable watch, resonating well with its audience during the festive Sankranti season. In a nutshell, it is a wholesome family entertainer!
