Watched 'Ranaranga', 1988 Shivarajkumar starrer, last week. cant believe it took almost 20yrs 2 watch a movie whose songs are still fresh in mind. and it wasnt a disappointment either. Its a typical 'angry young man fighting against the system' movie, wherein all the issues, grouses the viewers might have had while watching the mov...
ie are raised and addressed too, albeit in a virtual manner!! those were the days when movies played the role of virtual reality for the 'sub altern'. what stands out is the exceptional quality of dialogues, songs, acting, editing and direction. even innovativeness if i have to say, given the year it was released. The lead as usual give flawless performances, but equal credit goes to the supporting cast. Tara steals the limelight in the 2 songs she gets inspite of being a 2nd lead, while Sudharani is charming as ever. glamorous as well as 'girl in the neighbourhood' look at the same time. u realise why boys went mad to catch a movie then:) thats missing now!!
Those were the days when Kannada Film Industry was goin gr8 guns, and if the momentum was sustained, 2day it wud hv been a different story. present lot shud watch those movies and try to get back that glory which has been lost. certain ground has been covered through one or two good movies, but its not enough. for a culture which has a grand heritage in History,Literature,art and architecture...Kannada deserves a far better Movie industry
