“Rann” by Ram Gopal Verma is a fabulous work and shows the reality of the Media World. In the Indian Film world you hardly find any movie which has no songs (duet or romance), extravagant action, fights. But, in the movie “Rann”, you find how RGV has confined himself to the subject matter and has set Indian Movie industry a new standard. The upcoming star of Bollywood and renowned actor, director, script writer, producer of Kannada movie Industry, Sudip has shown his atmost talent against the Big B, Amithabh Bacchan who has played the role of Sudip’s father.
If I am to give the ratings on a scale of 5: Story – 4, Direction – 3.5, Music – 4.5, Camera Work – 3, adherence to the subject matter – 5.
I am sure this movie would not be a success in a country like India where you scarcely find people think about the truth behind the news they receive from the media which is controlled by the missionaries, and bureaucrats.
RGV has made a point in every other scene of this movie to show how business minded is today’s media. Just to win the TRP Race, how a News Channel tries to hide the truth and showcase the lie in a way that the dumb people believe it.
If you closely watch the movie and day to day news coming up in the News Channels, you will realize the truth that RGV wants to bring in front of that world. A dialogue in the movie represents today’s media. “Film Makers and Media are not too different. Film Makers make a movie with Songs and Fights and Emotions for 3 hours of entertainment. But, Media makes a 5 minute movie just to tell the truth or to make people believe that they are showcasing the truth”
Another scene in the movie which shows the mean mind of Media where Purab (Ritesh Deshmukh) a journalist in Amitab and Sudip’s TV Channel, goes an shoot an exclusive interview of Mohan Pandey (Paresh Rawal) who is the Proclaimed candidate for Prime Minister’s post. In the course of Interview, Purab insists Pandey to give one good course of action that no politician has made till date. Pandey says there are several problems in the Country to solve and Purab says give a solution to it. This upsets Pandey and he declines to continue with the interview.
Jai Mailk (Sudip) gets upset with the attitude shown by Purab and sends Rajpal Yadav to take the interview. The first question by Rajapal to Mohan Pandey is “what would you do once you become the PM?”. Pandey says, “Ganga Snan”. That’s it. The breaking news would be “Future PM Mohan Pandey has told that he would take the Ganga Snan once he becomes the PM”.
This is the true face of Media. Media runs on the strength of money, politics and hypocrisy. I just want to say “Kudos to Ram Gopal Verma for his effort in setting a standard to the Indian movie industry and an alarm to the Media industry to come out of the hypocrisy.
