Review of Rangoon . . .

Review of Rangoon . . .
Vishal Bhardwaj's epic drama takes place in the time of world war 2. I've been big fan of VB Sir since Makdee. I remember when i was in school one day our school management arranged a movie show and showed Makdee. In my childhood i enjoyed it alot. I didn't know VB Sir then but became fan of his film. He has been known to me since Omkara. I loved that film too. I also liked his other films such as The Blue Umbrella, Kaminey, 7 Khoon Maaf & Haider etc. He iz one of my most fav film makers. He made me his big fan by his unusual style of story telling. He adapts (Omkara, The Blue Umbrella, Haider) so well and also creates (Makdee, Kaminey) nice stuff. His sense of telling story in a cinematic way iz brilliant. His characters stay with me for the long time.
Rangoon iz a dramatic and romantic story of Julia, Rishi & Nawab. It has love triangle, thrills, patriotism with cinematic elements. Each frame iz worth watching. Detailed making. Tightly written and directed. Dialogues are very well written. Engaging screenplay. I totally blown away with some breathtakingly well executed scenes. Talvar Bazi between Rishi & Julia, Kissing scenes by Nawab & Julia, Climax scene etc.
It has impressive visuals. Cinematography makes movie much better. BGM also nice.
Performance by Saif Ali Khan as Rishi iz very good. He iz in a supporting role here. He has done his part so well.
Kangana Ranaut as Julia iz awesome. No second thought she iz an appropriate choice for the role. She totally justified with her character. She iz very talented as her previous performances proved and once again she shines in the role.
Shahid Kapoor as Nawab Malik iz the one who steals the show. Both the male actors are director's actors. Saif and Shahid can do really good job if a director brings out hidden talent from them. Here VB Sir succeed to bring it out from Shahid. He was fab in Kaminey & Haider. Loved him in both the movies and in this once again he nailed it. Captain Nawab iz fantastic. Trust me this Actor-Director pair iz OUTSTANDING. As one famous Gujarati film maker Abhishek Jain Sir tweeted after watching Rangoon "What Robert De Niro iz to Martin Scorsese, Shahid Kapoor iz to Vishal Bhardwaj". In reply Shahid tweeted "This Made My Day"
That's very true said by Abhishek Sir. I wish they work more together and give us more content driven films.
On the whole It's one of the typical VB film. His fans will surely enjoy it. I enjoyed as i am. Not his best but not the weak one.
3.8/5.
