Story is very relatable...Gen Z might connect with it: Ram Gopal Varma on re-release of 'Rangeela'

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma discusses the theatrical re-release of his iconic film Rangeela and why its relatable story might resonate with Gen Z audiences today.

"The story is very relatable. It can happen today also, the same story, which is the reason I think they might connect - Ram Gopal Varma"

Hyderabad, November 19

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma is extremely excited for the re-release of his hit film 'Rangeela' in theatres.

Speaking to ANI, Ram Gopal Varma took a stroll down memory lane, sharing his experience creating the Aamir Khan and Urmila Matondkar-starrer.

"There are some films which will be highly talked about because of their development over the years, ever since their release, and I think Rangeela is one of them, especially considering the way its songs were shot.. I'm genuinely excited, because some films are destined to become talking points long after they're made," he expressed.

"Rangeela created quite a benchmark for the way musicals are shot, songs have been picturised and a very realistic approach to a love story. And whenever characters are real, I think they outlive time, which is what I have realised. So, I think Rangeela is one such film," Ram Gopal Varma added.

Jackie Shroff also played a key role in the film.

"With the film set to return to theatres soon, Ram Gopal Varma is eager to see how today's young viewers, especially Gen Z, respond to it."

" I can't predict what Gen Z will think. But like I said, the story is very relatable. It can happen today also, the same story, which is the reason I think they might connect," he shared.

RGV is absolutely right about the relatability factor. The struggle between dreams and reality, love and ambition - these themes are timeless. Gen Z will definitely connect with Mili's journey.

As someone who grew up watching this film, I'm excited to see how it holds up. The songs were revolutionary for their time - AR Rahman's music combined with RGV's vision created magic.

While I love Rangeela, I'm not sure if today's youth will appreciate the pacing. Modern films are much faster. But the music and Urmila's iconic style might win them over!

Interesting to see how films from the 90s are making a comeback. Rangeela's realistic approach to relationships and career choices might resonate well with today's youth who value authenticity.
