Movie Review

 

Raangi is an action thriller film directed by M. Saravanan and produced by Allirajah Subaskaran in Tamil. Trisha plays the lead in the film. C Sathya composed the film's music, while K. A. Sakthivel and M Subarak handled cinematography and editing, respectively.

 

 

Trisha's Thaiyal Nayagi is a fearless investigative journalist who works for an online news portal and is dedicated to promoting equality, democracy, and justice. A special police task force arrests her for the murder of Police Inspector Krishnamurthy (John Mahendran), but she is rescued by a team of FBI and CBI agents. Thaiyal first encounters Inspector Krishnamurthy during a routine police check and records him making inappropriate comments, which she later posts online. The inspector retaliates by sending goons after Thaiyal, but she stands firm. Thaiyal's niece, Sushmitha, played by Anaswara Rajan, admires and aspires to be like her aunt. She is unaware, however, that she is being blackmailed by a college boy who threatens to release private videos of her. Thaiyal discovers the situation and confronts the boy, discovering that a fake Facebook account in Sushmitha's name was created to communicate with boys. Thaiyal gains access to the phony account and discover that the girl behind it is receiving messages from middle-aged men. Thaiyal lures these men into a hotel room as Sushmitha and beats them up, warning them not to repeat their behavior.

 

Thaiyal discovers that Aalim, one of the men who messaged Sushmitha, did not show up for their meeting. Aalim is revealed to be a Libyan terrorist whose organization is wanted by US authorities. Thaiyal discovers this after linking a photo sent by Aalim with news footage. Thaiyal requests a photo of Minister Kumaravel Rajan engaging in illegal dealings with terrorists in order to locate Aalim. Thaiyal posted the photo online, prompting Indian authorities to execute the minister. Abu Farooq, Aalim's superior, discovers the photo and forces Aalim to reveal Sushmitha's location. Thaiyal responds that she is from India, prompting Abu to dispatch attackers after Sushmitha, who are apprehended by FBI agents. Abu prepares to execute Aalim but is ambushed by the military. Aalim saves Abu's life, and the latter temporarily spares him. Aalim asks Sushmitha to create another ID for him to text and later confesses his romantic feelings to her.

 

Thaiyal is arrested one day by the hate-filled Krishnamurthy and texts Aalim about it. Without Thaiyal's knowledge, Aalim dispatches assassins to kill Krishnamurthy. Thaiyal continues to converse with Aalim, learning about his background as a Libyan terrorist. Thaiyal starts sympathizing with Aalim and sends him pictures of her daily life. Aalim travels to Chennai to meet Sushmitha, but Thaiyal intervenes and is apprehended by the special task force. Thaiyal is forced by the FBI to persuade Aalim to agree to a meeting in Libya. Thaiyal and Sushmitha travel to Libya with the agents. A local taxi driver informs Aalim of Sushmitha's arrival in Libya, which fills him with joy.

 

Unbeknownst to Aalim, Abu and his associates have devised a plan of vengeance in which they intend to eliminate Sushmitha, Thaiyal, and the accompanying agents. Thaiyal, on the other hand, fights back tenaciously. Aalim arrives and kills Abu's men to protect Sushmitha, who has no idea who he is. Thaiyal tries to assist Aalim in escaping, but he does not understand her language. Abu locates Thaiyal but is killed by FBI agents. The agent's leader orders his men to murder Sushmitha in order to draw out Aalim, who sacrifices himself to protect her. As Aalim breathes his last, he expresses his love for Sushmitha and hands her a talisman she had previously given to a taxi driver. Thaiyal is devastated by Aalim's death and weeps bitterly. After that, she and Sushmitha safely return to India, where she writes a book about Aalim's life.
