The film really belongs to director Sukumar who manages to take up an age-old formula and make it work with his vision. Prakash Raj is the man who stands in the shadow throughout the film. Initially he supports Kumar Babu, and helps the brothers with the nomination. He is also the game changer in the film, who leaves us stunned in the end. Not because we dont know where it is headed, but because of the way all of it is presented.

It is tough for a director to deal with current day audiences by telling a story that took place almost 38 years back and adding a weakness to the heros character. But Sukumar has done it in the best way and held the interest of the audiences from title cards to the interval. The way the first half is filled with the beauty of Rangasthalam village and the village politics aspects is excellent. The first half ends on a promising note and sets the premise perfect for the second half. The second half starts on a slow note but still, there is some new factor in the second half. The film picks up the speed, by the time it reaches the pre-climax and the climax sequence is one of the best works from Sukumar as it ends with a mind-blowing twist. The way Mythri Movie Makers have believed Ram Charan and the director is nothing but the best.The film is indeed a must watch. The film has a true story, but it was presented in a best commercial manner. Watch it.

One of the most important aspects of Rangasthalam is the lack of effect of the runtime. As many know by now, the movie is nearly three hours long, but when watching one never gets the feeling of watching such lengthy flick. The pace never slackens, except briefly in the second half.

Rangasthalam can be described in two words: revenge and defiance. While the revenge is at the heart of the story, defiance is its soul. Director Sukumars defiance, who is also the writer of the film, is on display from the very beginning of the film. He defies the very basic expectation of a film that has a commercial hero such as Ram Charan by doing away with a hero-introduction scene. The film begins with a top angle shot of showing a person, peddling his cycle as fast as he could through the mud lanes of a village and as the camera draws closer we see the side profile of Chitti Babu (Ram Charan).

It would be a crime to brush aside Rangasthalams story as old wine in a new bottle. The trajectory of its characters might seem familiar, but this is a canvas where every character is real and emotional. While desperation and fear dictates the lives of most people, others are driven by greed and a thirst for power. Rangasthalam mirrors the brutal truth about politics in a village, and goes far beyond the cliches of lush green landscapes and happy lives that has come to define village-based dramas.

With the stamp of a commercial potboiler written all over it, Ram Charans Rangasthalam makes no bones about not being different or epic. At the heart of it, its a commercial film about the heros fight against a corrupt village president.

Brother sentiment is the story`s biggest strength. Ram Charan delivers a dekko as a pure-hearted villager to whom his brother and girlfriend mean the world. Exhilarating making values help matters. On the flip side, cliched scenes are not few and far between.
