The life narrative of Himanshu Sharma is one that is both original and out of the ordinary. The script, on the other hand, elevates an otherwise uninteresting story into something worth seeing. The author has included a number of heartwarming and remarkable scenes. So even if things go a little crazy, one doesnt mind. A highlight of the film is the humorous speech delivered by Himanshu Sharma, who is a perfect fit for the role he plays.

The film is superbly directed by Aanand L Rai. In a number of moments, you can see how his storytelling has progressed. Keeping the audiences interest and successfully executing a narrative like this is his greatest achievement. Aanand is a breath of fresh air compared to any other filmmaker. In addition, he offers an insightful remark on mental illness. However, the second hand may have been crisper and more logical.

ATRANGI RE is off to a great start. First-half highlights include Rinku and Vishus forced marriage, their talk on a train, and other memorable sequences. In front of an emotional Rinku, Vishu delivers a stunning speech in Tamil. Its a stunner in the last moments before the break. Even after the intermission, the movie remains engaging, despite the fact that some of the events are tough to swallow. Its tough to fathom how Rinku manages to live in peace at an all-boys dormitory with no one taking notice. Because of Vishu and Rinkus love tale, all hostel mates gather together and contribute to participate in the lunacy, which is even more implausible. While the conservative audience would be turned off by this last surprise, those who are yearning for something hatke would go crazy for it.

The performances in ATRANGI RE are top-notch. In LOVE AAJ KAL [2020], Sara Ali Khan tried her hand at another atrangi role, but it didnt work out. But in this film, she shows to be one of the most promising performers of our day. As the film unfolds, one sees that this character is so rich and complicated. This was no simple figure to play. On the other hand, Sara plays it like its no big deal.

When it comes to Dhanushs performance, you can count on the fact that hell deliver. Although hes had a number of notable roles, this one takes the cake for him. In the dramatic speech, the dancing in the loos or when he loses it on the train and auto rickshaw, hes of course remarkable. In certain instances, he doesnt speak, but he uses his silences and gaze to convey a lot of information.

In a supporting role, Akshay Kumar excels. In terms of star power, hes a big draw. As the sidekick, Ashish Verma (Madhusudhan) always delivers. Dimple Hayathi and Seema Biswas are great in their little parts. Aside from Gopal Dutt (Rinkus divorce lawyer) and Pankaj Jha (Rinkus mother), there isnt much else. They were supposed to do more. Babe Rinkus Mannat Mishra is adorable.
