Rangabali is wrapped with commercial touch-ups when you watch the trailer, but the content in the first half is far too promising.

The writing has a freshness that neatly transfers onto the screen. Debutant director Pawan Basamsetti packaged the story as a wholesome entertainer.

Entertainment

Naga Shaurya’s performance as an irresponsible youngster from a middle-class family is perfect. But the film doesn’t properly establish why he loves his village so much.

Entertainment

Comedian Satya is equally brilliant with his timing and mannerism as a sadistic youth who derives happiness listening to the despair of the opposite person.

Entertainment

Yukti Thareja does her portions well as an innocent medical practitioner Sahaja. The chemistry with her love interest Shaurya isn’t too heavy at the same time.

Entertainment

R Sarathkumar’s performance as Rangareddy who vouches for the welfare of the Rudravaram people is good. His stature and screen presence looks aggressive.

Entertainment

The work of cinematographers Divakar Mani and Vamsi Patchipulusu should be appreciated for the visuals. Pawan Ch’s music is another highlight.

Entertainment

Naga Shaurya and Satya shine in this rom-com action entertainer. However, a slight dip in the second half makes you drowsy. But again, there’s an upsurge in graphs at the pre-climax block.
