Director Shree Ranjani's Telugu movie Rangula Raatnam (Rangula Ratnam), starring Raj Tarun, Chitra Shukla and Pulikonda Priyadarshi, has received good reviews and ratings from the audience.
Rangula Raatnam is a romantic comedy-drama high on entertainment and emotional quotient. Shree Ranjani, who is making her debut as a director, has written the script for the movie, which has been produced by Akkineni Nagarjuna under his banner Annapurna Studios. The film has been given a U certificate by the censor board and it has a runtime of 2.17 hours.
Rangula Raatnam story: Vishnu (Raj Tarun) works in a greeting cards company called Emotions with his friend (Priyadarshi Pulikonda). He falls in love with Keerthi (Chitra), who works with an event management company. But he breaks up with her after seeing her possessiveness.
However, he decides to patch up with her after seeing his mom's (Sitara) message. What happens next forms the crux of the film.
Analysis: Rangula Raatnam deals with routine romantic drama and offers nothing new. The first half of the film has slow-paced narration, and some comedy, romance and sentimental scenes keep you engaged. The second half is good and entertaining, say viewers.
Performances: Raj Tarun and Chitra Shukla have delivered good performances and their chemistry is the highlight of Rangula Raatnam. Pulikonda Priyadarshi has a meaty role and has done justice to it. In fact, his comic timing is the saving grace of the film. Sitara and others have also done good a job, say the viewers.
Technical: Rangula Raatnam has good production values, and its songs, background score and picturisation are the attractions on the technical front, say the filmgoers.

#RangulaRaatnam View Point: Watch d film without expectations. It will surprise you. Each character has a reason for their presence. @priyadarshi_i again steals the show. @chitrashuklaa you are blessed to b in ur role. @itsRajTarun at his usual best. #Sriranjani and team

#RangulaRaatnam: Debutante Shreeranjani's romantic drama is resolutely familiar and trite. 138 minutes of running time seems really long for this slim plot. Bore & has mostly amateurish taking.

#RangulaRaatnam First half maximum fills with comedy scenes except a twist, Priyadarshi Pulikonda comedy has worked so well. More over Sricharan Pakala has scored beautiful background music. Overall, First half is fantastic with joyful scenes. #RangulaRaatnam .. When it comes to second half, story goes into main plot flash back, it takes us into emotional and a few comedy scenes have been good in the second half as well. In Total, Rangula Raatnam is Lovely and cool movie with Superb love story.

Love is not easy and loveless lonely life is even tough. Trying to figure out the balance, we end up frustrated and tortured by the same love we desire so much. #Rangularatnam a see-saw take on love that doesn't really hold together.

#RangulaRaatnam until the last 45mins or so, felt very artificial.. Nothing to talk much, but later part is what the story line is, and very well executed.. may be that's wat the director actually prepared and stretched it over 2hrs.. 3/5

#RangulaRaatnam - Heavy dose of sentiment so far in the first half. #RangulaRatnam first half is very slow paced, offers nothing except few fun scenes between Raj Tarun & Priyadarshi. #RangulaRaatnam review - Sentiment overloaded. Slow paced narration makes it a tedious watch. Poor production values doesn't help either. We're going with 2.5/5
