Ranga The "Faction" Donga - Review

Star Cast: Srikanth, Vimala Raman, Ramya Krishna, Telangana Sakunthala, GV, Jayaprakash Reddy, Chakri, Sivaji, Nagendra Babu, Chitram Seenu, Jyothi, Bhuvaneshwari, Sakshi Shivanand etc

Story, screenplay, direction: G V Sudhakar Naidu (GV)

Story:

Ranga (Srikanth) is a notorious thief and he along with his group (Sivaji and others) spends their life stealing from the corrupt cops.

Ranga has got a grandma (Telangana Sakunthala) with whom he has fights all the time. He also has a love affair with inspector Mangamma (Vimala) and also a strong passion for faction cinema, factionists etc. His life takes a turn when he comes across Bhavani Prasad (Srikanth again), a real life factionist.

Who is Bhavani Prasad? What is the link between him and Ranga? What happens from there forms the rest of the story.

Highlights:

    * Srikanth’s handsome looks
    * Vimala Raman’s glamour to an extent

Drawbacks:

    * Very weak direction
    * Poor songs
    * Technical jerks

Sakshi Shivanand looks pale in the item song, Jyothi, Bhuvaneshwari, Taslima Sheikh made their presence felt for the special song.

Analysis: At the box office, few scenes might appeal to the auto drivers and rickshaw pullers at the B and C centers but overall, this is "B Grade Movie".
