RAngbaaz: Darr Ki Politics season 3 on zee 5 A Vineet Kumar Singh show is through and through. Playing loose-leaf model Haroon Shah Ali Baig on Bihar’s mighty and former MP Mohammad Shahabuddin, the latest season is a dance between ‘inspired reality’ and facts.

The six-episode drama portrays the political climate of Bihar for two decades from 1989. From the fodder scam to the murder of Comrade Chandu (Chandrasekhar Prasad), Mausam looks at several historical moments of the era. Films directed by Navdeep Singh Manorama: Six Feet Under And NH 10 fame, Rangbaaz can’t be one gangs of wasseypur But it is impressive.

From a small-town political ‘promoter’ to an MP with a criminal record who enjoys an almost dictator-like status in his backyard, the show looks at Baig’s regime in a refreshing way.

Political Thrills and Violence

In recent times, we have many political thrillers, but Rangbaaz Manages to stay consistent by not offering over-the-top depictions despite showing lots of violence and bloodshed. While the show jumps between timelines, it manages to grab your attention. The pace is slow but justified – essential to setting up the story and Baig’s character. Rangbaaz There is a subtle glimpse of the stereotypes attached to Bihar and its political sphere. The attention to space and detail elevates the statement.

The thefts and mass murders of ballot boxes and the political rise of Baig, who once defeated his guru Dashrath Singh, are thrilling and horrifying at once. It is done in a neutral style enhancing the experience of the audience.

performance

what makes Rangbaaz Work speed. It is also backed by a stellar cast led by Singh, who established himself with a successful performance in Anurag Kashyap’s film. boxing Haroon Shah is playing the role of Ali Baig.

The near-biopic role gives the actor space to show his limits, something you saw in Kashyap’s film. From falling and confessing his love to Sana, played by Akanksha Singh, to being Dipesh’s friend and becoming a political honcho, Singh is a delight.

Geetanjali Kulkarni is different in the supporting cast. Beg, from facing rioters to save the child to being his mother, to telling him right from Dhivan (the fictional town where the story is set) where he wins the election, Kulkarni is top notch. He and Sana capture the human aspect of the show which has no protagonist.

Prashant Narayanan is also impressive as the good in the sea of ​​evil. Rajesh Tailang is restrained and effective while Vijay Maurya does his work with finesse.

However, the ups and downs in the plot aren’t exactly unexpected and it does dampen the experience somewhat. But the performance and narration make up for it. Gore is low, a . Compared to mirzapur And for many people, this may not sound compelling.

Messiah for some and Satan for the rest, Baig is the kind of character you can imagine and Leo brings him to life – that’s why I recommend watching it for the weekend.
