Raanjhanaa

What is a Bollywood film without a love story? Raanjhanaa not only boasts one, but also intertwines the subculture, caste system, religion, politics of India into one colorful film. As someone who has come to appreciate Hollywood, I had to realize that this movie is made for Indians and not compare it with other western movies under the same light. So long I have waited for a movie, for an Indian movie to come close to reality, an Indian reality... as opposed to the upper class fantastical type Indian movies. This one sure does come close as one can without sacrificing the appeal of Indian cinema. I can understand its success as associations can be made between this movie and reality for Indians. Glad to own my first Bollywood film.A. R. Rahman does a fantastic job in first two tracks: "Tum Tak" and "Raanjhanaa" but rest of the tracks felt very mediocre, especially coming from such an acclaimed producer.Blu-ray boasts high definition and HD audio but there are no special features. The blu-ray I recieved was for all regions.

A visually beautiful movie. What seems to start off as a predictable love story takes off on a dark trajectory involving religion and politics. The songs (by A.R. Rahman) are beautiful and are also atypically placed as supporting the scenes as opposed to having the characters singing them. The young stars do a wonderful job.

Not a typical Indian movie- but the main character is awesome! the movie was sad... my mom and I were like WTH at the end of it, but i guess it is good, Bollywood is not steering into having depressing endings to!

The lead male character was inappropriate for this role. Dhanush is anything but a romantic type. I also had difficulty understanding some of his dialogues. And, the story started out nicely as a guy infatuated by a girl but then it drifted into kamikaze political drama

Watched this movie on an airline flight. Liked it so much I decided to buy the DVD to share with my wife. Good dance sequences and storyline. Acting is good and now I am open to watching other Bollywood movies.Arrived quickly, even though I used free normal shipping.

Excellent acting and a beautiful story.

I'm not a fan of dying/suicide because of unrequited love. Death is easy & weak...living takes courage & strength! Besides, I never liked either of the main characters throughout the entire movie, so didn't care what happened to them. This is probably the only Bollywood movie I won't be re-watching or keeping!

This is a really great movie!! I would definitely recommend this one. It came to us very quickly, sooner than expected.
