Watched it 18 times. What a great movie. Loved by my family.
Politics, betrayal, enmity at its best. Great dialogue-writing. Superb acting. Thanks RGV

I just had to write a short review. Rann tries successfully to show how the media can become a PR tool, wittingly/unwittingly, in the hands of those who seek only self gain. Rather than reporting news, the media is creating news. Rann tells it's story very convincingly and had me gripped from about 10mins in till the very end. Most of the actors (main and supporting) portrayed their characters very well; there isn't a main 'hero' as such. The actor who plays Jay didn't quite do the role justice; it lacked conviction. Ritiesh Deshmukh gives the most mature performance I've seen of him so far.What sticks with me is how far desire for wealth and power will take people; it took Jay much further than he foresaw. For serious story telling Rann is a most see.

Before the actual release of this movie, I was eagerly waiting for it. Especially because it seemed to have all the desirable things one can expect out of a Ram Gopal Verma made crime/political film.When I read reviews of so-called critics, I was very disappointed. Most of them gave it mere below-average to average ratings. I almost gave it up thinking that it's another failure of an RGV experiment. But, I am glad I didn't.I don't know why the critics gave it bad ratings. According to me, it was a very good film. It was well presented, not a bit exaggerated, to-the-point film.Things I liked about it - couple of good sarcastic background songs, very well-defined/well-judged characters and the opening as well as climax of the movie.Things that could have been better - background score and some minor touch-ups in screenplay/plot.Bottom line - It's a very good film, overall. The plot was pretty good with some minor holes. Despite being predictable, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is my first review for any movie and I am writing it in response to all those people who blindly criticize movies just for the sake of criticism. I have been waiting for the release of this movie for the last 2 months, because the trailers for this movie were really great (which is something unexpected for a Bollywood movie). And the movie justified my wait. I am not much of a fan of Bollywood, but this movie was totally worth the wait and worth every paisa of the Rs. 175 I spent to see it @ PVR Cinemas.The predictability of the movie (something that a few people criticized and something that some may feel is a spoiler) was the beauty of the movie - RGV made sure the movie ended on expected lines. He didn't show us anything that we did not know - he just presented it in a very compelling way that makes us sit up and notice.The music was really appropriate. The first half of the movie gives you a feel of Madhur Bhandarkar's "Fashion" in it's pace. The second half of the movie is a bit slow, but the ending justified the pace.This has to be the the second best role of Amitabh Bachchan in the last 15 years (after his role in Sarkar). Mohnish Behl was exceptional and it was nice to see him get a role that only he could have justified. Paresh Rawal and Sudeep also played good supporting roles. Ritesh Deshmukh has finally found a serious role that suits him well :) His acting skills may have be panned by many, but he did justice to his role in the movie. Rajat Kapoor was great as usual in his small, but significant role.Don't watch this movie if you want to be entertained or get enlightened. See it to reinforce your distrust in the media, to think once more about what is right and what is wrong, to question your own judgment and to watch Amitabh Bachchan deliver another sound performance.Varun Reddy.http://www.varunreddylive.com
