Ranganayaka

The director here has attempted to construct a narrative solely through conversations and dialogues, poured in merely for the sake of it. However, he has neglected proper introduction, storyline, or execution. At times, Guruprasad even inserts the names of a few Kannada heroines, which seems unnecessary and irrelevant to the narrative. Jaggesh’s attempt to salvage the film with his performance is hindered by outdated mannerisms and dialogue. Without a strong storyline, the film lacks substance, making it challenging to appeal to the audience. In the initial half, Jaggesh’s role as Ranganayaka feels confined to a couple of songs and scenes, and viewers are initially drawn in by the actor’s comic timing and expressions, the latter half sees a more solid grounding of the narrative.
