Younus Mohammed's 'Raag Rangeela' looks like a shoddily made music video sans a story or script. Making no sense whatsoever, it intersperses a few songs into some haphazardly shot scenes and comes up with a tedious film that terrifies you with its bumpiness.
Manu (Adithyan) and Mohith (Dhruvan) are two friends and musicians who are involved in crafting their dream project - Raag Rangeela. When a girl (Hanna Jayanth) walks into their lives, offering to produce their musical show, their friendship is tested with dire consequences.
The narrative of the film is totally confusing in that it almost looks like a flashback is about to start in the beginning. However, from what transpires towards the end, the commencement comes across as even more confusing.
The first half of the film depicts the struggle for survival of the duo, and their travails and tribulations in trying to make both ends meet. The scenes with the music band are astounding, and stun you with their irrationality, like the one where the drummer is far away from the cymbal when the musical score blares in the background, with the cymbal chimes.
It's true that the film deserves no such reflection, and that it's only with a sense of ennui that you can sit through it, as it sluggishly moves towards the finishing point. There are scenes that are specifically meant to tug at your heart strings - like the one when Mohith hands over his neck chain to the house owner, and drops a tear over a portrait of his mother - but which hardly succeed in doing so.
