If you can imagine a pile of
garbage perfumed with wonderful smelling scents, wrapped up in decorated paper
and satin ribbons, that’s what Rangoon is. Jumbled with too many useless things
and messy, the pile of garbage is full of waste. Waste of time, waste of money,
waste of creativity, imagination and efforts of talented actors. But there is a
small ray of hope through all the stinking crap. The ray if followed leads to
Shahid Kapoor sporting a suave army look and swagger and intense performance.
The rest is self-consuming destructive sinking sand. The story, background,
narrative, cinematography, costume, music and even the characters are an utter
failure. First half was an extension of the preview and second half opened up a can of worms, insects, maggots and the like. The white man speaking Hindi with a foreign accent (cannot categorize
it as British or German or French or some god forsaken language) was like the
maggots that are produced if the pile of garbage is left undisposed. Kangana
Ranaut has fallen from the moon into the deepest pit of garbage for her
performance is frivolous, disconnected and fractured. It is not her fault for the
script was miserable but her fault was that she chose to do this film. Same
goes with Saif Ali Khan whose role as a Parsi film biggie is convincing but
there was no depth in his character. All in all this pile of garbage should be
disposed of fast and swift. Three hours and 250 bucks later , the stench is
unbearable.
