just watch it!

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Rangoon is the average movie can be seen if you have no alternate movie to watch. It will entertain you by cant be excite you. Cast of the movie is good so if you are a fan of one of them then you can go and buy the tickets otherwise i suggest you don't waste money and time on it go and do party with friends.

The film seemed to give the impression of the ingredients to success, and an Indian film about World War Two itself sounds so unique and unheard of that one ends up pinning high hopes on it, but the plot and the story-line falls well below the capable mind and the intelligence of Vishal. The performances were pretty good, no two ways about it, especially of Shahid who looked so handsome and appealing as soldier with that mustache and the physique, and Saif was good (nothing extraordinary as Shahid since he got a very limited role) in his kind of territory of roles, Kangana... Well, she wasn't bad but I'm in general not a huge fan of her acting skills, in particular that shaky voice. But again, the plot fails the film.Although I've my reservations about the subcontinent's soldiers that fought for either sides in that war, but I can understand the admiration and the sense of patriotism attached with those who allied with Germany and Japan back then. This however seemed like a film that Vishal made on kind of force. He's not that kind of a man, his films never revolve around the emotions of nationalism. It seems so coincidental that director Kabir Khan makes a film ('Bajrangi Bhaijaan' 2015) which shows Pakistan in good light, then proceeds to go all patriotic and anti-Pakistan in a film like 'Phantom' (2015), and Vishal makes a film ('Haider' 2014) in which he takes a critical look in the happenings with the people of Kashmir, and then goes all patriotic in a film like this. Strange really!It can happen, we all can have a bad day at the office, but here's hoping that Vishal gets back to his usual best and continues to make the tragedies I so love with passion.Either way, Vishal deserves a tremendous amount of credit for unearthing the actor within Shahid. This man on his own has given Shahid a direction, a type of roles that he now knows that he can pull off. It's down to Vishal that Shahid's performances are now valued in the eyes of the public. Prior to that, Shahid was at best a poor's man Shah Rukh Khan - or at least trying to be!

Rangoon - quite a movie! It's an action film, make no mistake about it. And it has generous dollops of epic romance, fortitude and a plethora of human emotions that all the characters wear on their sleeves. This is not a film that relies on symbolism or on subtlety. Quite in-your-face, this is a film set during the tumultuous times of the Indian Independence and the Second World War on a grand scale. What I really liked about the film is Vishal Bhardwaj's evident love of film-making that came out in the period-piece sets during Kangana's shooting of the wild Toofan Ki Beti. The sets, shooting styles evoked a heady mix of nostalgic 40's films with raucous action and macho heroines. The heady aroma of pop-culture was replete throughout the scenes, especially in Miss Julia's super heroine costume where she jumps like a skilled acrobat onto a chandelier and escapes with a hapless damsel against various goons. Her escape is nothing short of spectacular – high-kicks in leather- clad boots, followed by punches, an escape on a motorcycle that culminates in a high-flying sortie on a warplane. This is solid action and I could not help but wonder of the film within the film that - what was the sensational story of Toofan Ki Beti? The character of Miss Julia is the fulcrum – the character around which the situations revolve, but soon the war engulfs all. Like a bildungsroman, Miss Julia, a super heroine in the reel world, grows into maturity in her love for Nawab, into a super heroine in her own right. The culmination is poetic, and some might say, even clichéd, when she dons her costume one last time to save the love of her life. That her love is doomed and that the war finally subsumes all is tragic, but we are made to see into her mental growth, where she fights out of her naiveté, into a woman who finally finds her own voice – as an individual in her own right. The film also makes excellent use of the minor characters, how each build and adds to the atmosphere, to give a sense that there is a darker and massive backdrop against which the characters interplay their lives. Vishal Bhardwaj makes this an important locus in the film – the voices of the minor characters help the audience visualize, like a synecdoche, in quick snippets, of the freedom struggle, the INA, Subhas Bose, Hitler, Churchill and the whole vicious panorama of war. The characters of Zulfi, Julia's troupe, the war nurse, the Indian rajah all command significant screen time to build the context. The other important aspect of the film was to showcase the little known area of Arunachal Pradesh with its wild beauty. All the three main actors, Kangana, Shahid and Saif provide matured and stellar performances. But the scene steal-er was the evil British Major General, like Major Hans Landa – a suitable and stock villain, refusing to die. A film that is full on entertainment and with the right amount of drama. Not to be missed.

The movie revolves all around the love-triangle amongst Rusi, Miss Julia and Jamaadaar (Nawab Malik). Its like the title of the film is just used to make the plot sound heavy but actually the plot is found weak, which would've been much better if more of the unsung history of Rangoon was portrayed in the film. Full marks to Kangana for doing justice to the key role she plays in the movie, but one less for saying 'Bloody Hell' so many times, and a bonus for looking nevermore sexy on screen while playing the glamorous actress Miss Julia. Both of Shahid's and Saif's role are written to be auxiliary, therefore, they don't get a chance to be impressive. Overall, Rangoon fails to live up to the expectations that Vishal Bharadwaj - Shahid duo has set for us.
