Routine story with intriguing narration
Shrewd_merman26 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
What started out as a intricate story, finally ended in a "been there done that" finale.

The premise is indeed predictable but the intrigue lies in execution. Though there are multiple subplots at the beginning, their course has never been run out, eventually played out well at the end.

The rampant ego between two maniacs that gradually led them into each other throats. Despite appearing to be something which has been on screens since evolution, there is a certain charisma among actors which helped the film not to be completely unwatchable. The main conflict that led to clash between these two titans is highly serious but not big enough to play out as roller coaster.

Harshavardhan rane has offered more than asked for. He dont need to but he did. One can be sympathetic to his deeds. After a long time, seen a movie depicting a macho character being matured, understanding and redeemable to begin with .

The actor who played out yuvaraj, goodness, his acting is on point. His acting skills literally poured out and made his presence felt on screen despite being devilishly good looking. He has the aura to carry out the role of being an egotistical maniac and we shall still rooting for him. I just wished his characterisation has more fluidity. It all appears he is behaving like he is, just for the screen. I always those handsome guys will be eye candies in web series but he proved it wrong with his nuanced acting.

My most favorite character is tj bhanu. All hands down for her. She carries herself with such an elegance but she deserved a better ending as per her arc. Hard to find a character where a woman being a rebel in a male dominated premise.

Then comes Nikitha dutta. Her character is very complicated in terms of story. And director could have made it noteworthy on screen but he really didnt make an effort on her part on expense of displaying rivalry between two protagonists.

Movie could have been much shorter in length . Songs were impactful rather than foot tapping . And i liked it that way. I really really wished yuvraj would settle down with bhama. Bad boy meets nerd girl kinda vibe would have filled my heart with ecstasy. Rish is a powerful independent girl who should be leaving or friend zoning yuva for his toxicity. Its my personal opinion. But the love story of Xavier and gayu is flawless and beautiful.

On a whole, there are points of saturation where you are literally begging to take the story forward and when it happens, its already moving very fast. The storyline for rish mother and brother and their relation with gayu is very engaging but it all happens very quickly as such it appears as a glimpse of forced emotion. Not very subtle in my opinion.

I recommend to definitely watch it.

Routine story with good performances...
shaikhirshad-412231 March 2024
Dange will take you to College Rivalry days type of storyline where somewhat it doesn't feel like the college fest rather than personal revenge but still movie will keep you engaged with good character performances.

Storyline is not new we have seen tons of films with kind of plot but what makes it interesting about this film is the screenplay which is quite good and doesn't feel you bored and can easily connect with the characters and situation.

Cinematography is average nothing special whereas Background score is quite good specially that rap music makes the momentum well.

The Character Performances is the main highlight of the film specially HARSHAWARDHAN, EHAN & NIKITA shines throughout the film and keep you hooked till the last.

Overall definitely A one time watch for character performances and old but good story-telling. Not highly recommended but if you have free time can definitely check out won't be disappointed....

sagarjha-2002829 April 2024
Please be aware , eat poision if have some time but don't watch this movie, please watch race 3 or himmatwala but again please dont watch this bawasir this movie is like end of the world, nothing left to say i am spechless , wordless and this movie is storyless , actingless and timeless. Direction has no direction, actor is not actors , acting is not acting , movie is not movie , but the most satisfying part is unsubscribing netflix after watching this movie. I really love the cameraman who rotate the camera according to him , round and round up & down , did whatever every one wants to do. Review is too short but truth regards , sagar and his brother RIP 2:30 minutes. Thanks.

predictable film with mediocre acting
nishica26 April 2024
The film has a predictable plot line. The acting from the main characters were below par. I was hoping that the film would pick up midway but it was disappointing. You can see that the director did his best with the screenplay. One of the major pitfalls of Dange is its reliance on tired clichés and predictable tropes. The storyline feels derivative, offering little in the way of innovation or originality. Instead of taking risks and exploring new territory, the film plays it safe, resulting in a forgettable and generic viewing experience. Despite its flashy visuals and occasional bursts of action, Dange ultimately fails to deliver the thrills and excitement expected from a movie in this genre.

Dange (2024): A Visually Striking Story Elevated by Performances .
harshildodiya3 March 2024
"Dange" is a film that pulls you in with its captivating story and doesn't let go. While the narrative itself is strong, it's the exceptional cinematography and the electrifying screen presence of Harshwardhan Rane and Ehan Bhat that truly elevate the movie.

The film's visuals are a feast for the eyes. The camerawork is impressive, and the way it captures the energy of the college setting is particularly noteworthy. It complements the story perfectly, adding another layer of depth and engagement.

But the heart of "Dange" lies in its lead performances. Both Rane and Bhat command the screen with their charisma and intensity. Their rivalry feels genuine, and their chemistry is undeniable. You can't help but be drawn into their conflict.

Finally, the background music (BGM) deserves a special mention. It provides the perfect soundtrack to the on-screen action, heightening the tension and excitement. The BGM seamlessly blends with the narrative, making the movie a much more immersive experience.

Overall, "Dange" is a compelling film that delivers on all fronts. The story is engaging, the visuals are stunning, and the performances are nothing short of stellar. If you're looking for a movie that will keep you entertained from start to finish, "Dange" is definitely worth checking out.

Waste of time
drtushky28 April 2024
There is no script, no depth to the storyline. Things are just happening randomly. No characters stabilization or proper back stories to support the characters. I gave it a chance because director is one of my favorites but he totally disappointed the audience. The reason was not convincing enough for the rage of one of the main characters. Only drone shots don't add anything to the cinematography of the movie. Excessive use of drone shots. Even subplots too are not really fully developed & story feels half cooked. David was such a masterpiece from the director but this is really waste of time for him as well as audience.

Very powerful performances from Harshvardhan and Ehan
kathrimn4 May 2024
I finally watched Dange since it got released. And I don't regret any second of watching it. I only regret I couldn't watch in theatres because it wasn't shown here in Germany. I came to the film without knowing what to expect. And it really surprised me in all kind of ways. The camera angles and the visualization was really very exciting. Mr Harshvardhan Rane was the best actor in this film besides Ehan. Every time when he did enter a scene I was captivated by his whole charm and aura. He killed his role as Zee. He was authentic as Zee and he showed so many emotions. He made me laugh, cry and I felt his emotions as they were mine. His temper was authentic too and the fighting scenes were really great. I loved them. He can really adapt to any requested character. Mr. Rane is so talented and he deserves all the appreciation. Ehan in his acting were really cool. His role made the movie much more exciting because of the beef and the battle between him and Rane. Bejoy really made this film to be on a big screen. It should actually only be watched in theatres. That is how the whole thing should be presented. To me personaly there is so much more positive to say but I try to make it short. Only one last thing. The whole college situations remind me of the college times here in Europe. There were always drugs, alcohol and fights. So to me it is authentic.

WHAT AN OUTSTANDING MOVIE!!!
aparajitbhattacharya24 March 2024
I am absolutely stunned and speechless after watching this movie.. What a story !!!

Absolutely unique story and plot by the writers and a fabulous job done by the director Bejoy Nambiar!!

I was expecting a lot from the movie as I absolutely loved the trailer and yes to be honest I am more than satisfied now.

The acting and action were top notch and I loved how the plot changed during the college fest.

This film is an Absolute cracker and I am very upset seeing it's low budget collection and response. I would like to request the makers of the movie to consider making another part of it, the youth of the country would have loved it , if it would have reached them.

It is an absolute shame that I was unable to view it in the theatres as the movie disappeared after 5 days in Guwahati.

Lastly, I would appreciate the whole crew of 'Dange' for making this out and out perfect movie!

Underrated masterpiece film "Dange" 2024!!!
kisselevva6 May 2024
I loved this film from the first day I saw the poster, and only then after the teaser and trailer, I realized that this is exactly what is missing in cinema now, this is exactly what has been lost over the years, and this is natural acting and the ability to embody screen of any characters, this is what Harshvardhan Rane has. My heart was so drawn to this film and it was not mistaken. This film is worthy of great praise, it is a pity that real talents and masterpieces are not appreciated, this is the bitter truth of our cruel world.

I don't regret watching this movie, I'm very happy that I had the chance to see the brilliant movie Dange. My only regret is that I couldn't see this excellent film in the cinema. This film was created for big screens; it would be perceived even more powerful and touching. But alas, Indian films are not shown here in Russia, but I am very happy that despite everything I was able to see and appreciate the Great film.

From the very first frame, from the first minutes, from the first scenes, I was overwhelmed by a wave of emotions and feelings, gradually my heart was filled with different sensations and I felt all this thanks to the brilliant performance of Harshvardhan Rane. I have never met such a talented person in all aspects and I think as an actor he should be given more chances to show his talent and be appreciated at least once. My soul was literally torn to pieces when the pain was visible in Harshvardhan's eyes, it's not faked, it's natural, everything is so real and whether you like it or not, you will believe it and live it all. Just one look says a lot, without words Harshvardhan can convey to the viewer everything I wanted to say and..even more than that.and this indescribably new image and style for the character of Xavier (Zee) suits Harshvardhan so well: long hair, an ATV and his sweet smile, well, it's impossible to describe how wonderful everything is.

I plunged into the world, into the setting of this film, I forget about everything, as soon as the feelings overwhelm me, I felt like I was in this college, in this world. No matter how many times I rewatch Dange, I am drawn to watch it again and again, and every time in this original film: both in the storyline and in the highest performance of the actors, I discover new facets for myself and new feelings awaken in my soul.

Not only the acting of the main characters: Ehan (in the role of Yuva), Nikita (in the role of Rishita) and T J Bhanu (in the role of Gayatri) were at a high level, but also the soundtracks (songs) sounding throughout the film were crazy, with their uniqueness and originality. Not a single song was superfluous and they were all performed at the right moments and complemented the acting. The colossal work of the entire team who worked on creating their new unusual experience in film production, I appreciate and respect all of this.

I advise everyone to watch this film, because without watching it you will lose the most valuable thing - these are real feelings. The love lines of two friends, and the line of their enmity, all this will give unforgettable emotions, this is not a game, this is all real. You just need to believe, try to live, look from a different angle and evaluate. There is so much more I would like to write, but I'm afraid I won't fit everything in one article, so I think it's time to put an end to it.

If you truly appreciate stellar films with talented actors, if you believe in the power of emotion, then Dange is definitely worth a watch. I urge everyone in the world to watch this Masterpiece!
