Rangrezz

Rangrezz is a Hindi film directed by Priyadarshan starring Jackky Bhagnani, Priya Anand, Rajpal Yadav and Amitosh Nagpal in the lead roles. Rangrezz is a Hindi remake of Tamil hit film Naadodigal, which has already been remade in Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. After a gap of over fifteen years filmmaker Priyadarshan and Santosh Sivan have come together for this film. The film is produced by Vashu Bhagnani.

The film has Jackky Bhagnani as Rishi Deshpande, Priya Anand as Megha Joshi, Amitosh Nagpal as Winu, Vijay Verma as Pakkya, Akshara Gowda as Jasmine, Raghav Chanana as Joy, Rishikesh Deshpande as Chacha Chaudhari, Pankaj Tripathi as Brijbihari Pande, Lushin Dubey as Rati Chaturvedi, Sunil Sinha as Devdutta Deshpande, Sona Nair as Devyani Deshpande, Sakhi Gokhale as Venu, Milind Wagh as Major and Milind Phatak as Carpenter.

Rangrezz is about Rishi Deshpandey, a young, courageous boy whose life is incomplete without his friends and loved ones.

The film is the story of this brave lad who puts the dignity of his loved ones before anything else in his life, someone who believes in adding value to other people’s life, someone who understands the essence of true friendship and the value of his relationships.

Rishi’s world is imperfect without his childhood love: Megha; and his friends: Pakkya and Vinod. He considers his friends as extended family and would go up to any length to help or protect them from anything.

Because of Rishi’s helpful and supportive nature, he and his friends end up in life threatening situation when they collectively help a friend get married to the love of his life, in spite of the parents opposing it. In a hair raising climax, involving terrific action sequences and thrill, Rishi's friends encounter his new Avatar: just like Shiva – the one who will benevolently die for the one he loves, but the one who can also kill for the lack of it!

The film has three songs composed by Sajid-Wajid. South Indian composer, Sundar C Babu (who composed for the original Tamil film) makes his debut in Hindi with two songs. All lyrics are written by Sameer Anjaan.

The film has songs like Dil Ko Aaya Sukoon sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Hirali Brahmbhatt, Govinda Aala Re by Wajid Ali, Shambho Shiv Shambho (Song adapted from Naadodigal) by Sukhwinder Singh, Shiv Shambho (Composed by Sundar C Babu) by Shankar Mahadevan and Yaaron Aisa Hai (Composed by Sundar C Babu) by Salim Merchant.
