I believe that life is beautiful and must be lived to the fullest. Somebody out there is leading us through a path--it may be a bed of roses or a bed of thorns, how we walk the path and walk the talk is all that matters..... Writing is my passion. I love to write human interest stories, love travelling and of course I love interacting with individuals who have a higher purpose in life and can think beyond the mundane.....

Rang Rasiya—Ketan Mehta’s Masterstroke

In Rang Rasiya, Ketan Mehta paints a beautiful picture that’s truly master class. He weaves a telling story around Raja Ravi Varma’s colourful and eventful life, giving us deep insights into his mind.
Rang Rasiya is the story of an artist and his muse; his feelings, his passion, his angst, his artistic freedom or the lack of it and his constant tussle with the so called guardians of morality in society. There are layers and layers that need to be unraveled in order to delve into the depths of an artist’s mind, especially someone like Ravi Varma. However, the movie is so beautifully crafted and the narration so articulate that it captures the essence of what Raja Ravi Varma was all about in simple and magical strokes. It’s colourful, yet simple. It’s passionate, yet poignant.
Randeep Hooda’s performance as Raja Ravi Varma is brilliant. Nandana Sen as his muse Sugandha does a great job too. The dialogues pack the right punch without being melodramatic. There are certain scenes in the film that could have easily been made to appear crass or vulgar, but in the deft hands of Ketan Mehta and some brilliant cinematography, these turn out to be fleeting moments of passion and artistry, weaving its own magic on an empty canvas.
Go watch this one. You will definitely walk back home in admiration.  Watch this one only on the big screen. The movie’s running in packed halls in select theatres. At PVR, Kormangala, where I watched, nobody stirred till the Interval sign cam up on screen! Engrossed as we were…
