Mega power star Ram Charan’s Rangasthalam released today and opened with very good mouth talk. Especially, Ram Charan’s makeover and his performance in the role of Chitti Babu is very much appreciated by his fans as well as general audience.
Though Ram Charan has very good hit in the form of “Magadheera” movie, his performances in other movies were not much talked about. In fact is performance in some of the movies (like Zanjeer) was actually trolled buy some section of people. So Ram Charan was in need of a good and challenging role that show cases his acting skills. Probably this is the reason why mega family (Read Chiranjeevi) chose Krishna Vamsi in the past for a movie with Ram Charan (Govindudu Andarivadele). It seems Krishna Vamsi was chosen with the same expectation as Sukumar is chosen now for Rangastalam movie. Govindudu Andarivadele movie also was in the village backdrop. Krishna Vamsi also known for extracting great performances from all actors. Also he is known for bringing the rawness onto the screen, extracting intense performances from all the actors including supporting characters, and showing village nativity brilliantly on screen. Krishna Vamsi also known for selecting slightly offbeat stories and make it a commercial success. But all of this was history and the fact is Krishna Vamshi could not achieve what he was intended for with that movie. Govindudu Andarivadele movie was neither a commercial success nor it could exhibit Ram Charan’s acting prowess.
However, now it seems Sukumar is able to achieve what exactly Krishna Vamsi missed. Sukumar is able to extract top notch performance from Ram Charan and all other actors. He could present a village story and that too a periodic one with so much of authenticity and accuracy. Sukumar is also able to make a top commercial hero act in the off beat role of a deaf person. It is not an exaggeration if one says, Ram Charan answered all those who trolled his performance in earlier movies, with one stellar performance in this movie. Though due credit must be given to Ram Charan for accepting this role and putting lot of hard work, one should remember that the way Sukumar conceived and etched this character is the main reason for such outstanding result on screen. Usually all these are strengths of director Krishna Vamsi but as has he lost his Midas touch, stars and producers are not running behind him nowadays. So, overall, movie analysts feel mega family achieved their mission of presenting Ram Charan in a performance oriented and offbeat role and yet achieve commercial success through Sukumar now though the similar mission was failed when Krishnavamshi was at the helm!!
