Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

aaronbir This movie was brilliant and entertaining but it's really superb Songs they are mind blowing and brilliant background music Editing good screenplay good storyline good direction good Aamir was great Jackie was brilliant urmila was superb Overall 9/10 I really enjoyed this masterpiece Best movie ever

silvan-desouza RGV who now does nonsense mostly did some great films till COMPANY and SARKAR RANGEELA is a true funny movie and a nice romantic movie tooThe film also at it's times was perhaps the first movie to show bollywood digs which is now done to death and the digs are damn funnyEven the characterization of Aamir and his love to Urmila is fantastic The film is handled brilliantly only it dips in between with too many songs especially in the second half and also too many sleazy shots of Urmila which were shocking then but it was forgiven too then The climax too is brilliantDirection by RGV is brilliant Music is a winner Amongst actors Aamir got a huge turning point in this movie, though he was always praised in films like JJWS, QSQT, DIL in between 1993- 1995 after HHRPK he started getting many flops which include the one of the top comedies ANDAZ APNA APNA(1994) where too his comic act was praised but RANGEELA gave him a big hit and he got praised for his role The best part is the way he grabs the nuances of the role and makes a tapori role seem his second skin He is outstanding Urmila too does a good job though at times too over enthusiastic Jackie Shroff however has a shorter role and he does it well but his looks(perhaps now) don't suit the superstar tag Amongst rest Avtar Gill is funny, Achyut Podar is likable and so is Reema Lagoo rest are good too

guydeleo This film was sorely in need of a ruthless editor, not unlike most Bollywood movies, and ran far too long. The musical numbers were too many and largely uninspired or, like the desert scene, made no sense. Additionally, Urmilla Matondkar, the star, is not a very good dancer. Rangeela was also sloppily made; in my copy, one scene was clipped before Jackie Shroff had finished speaking. While the three principal characters were sympathetically portrayed, the supporting cast, especially Mili's father and brother, was largely dreadful. For this American viewer, who has seen some powerful Indian dramas and some delightful musicals, Rangeela proved a great disappointment.

veeraraghavan It's a shame no-one has yet written about this movie. So, I am giving it a shot. Needless to say, the songs in the movie are great, and the movie was a big part of what I think was Urmila's short-lived comeback. Jackie Shroff is adequate is his role as the unhappy-in-real-life mega star. Anyone without a bias would easily agree the star of the show, in more ways than one, is Aamir Khan. This comment comes in a significant few years after the actual movie, but Aamir Khan has proved himself (AGAIN!) that he is, in my opinion, the best actor in the Hindi film industry, past and present. The chocolate-boy from Qayamat Se Qayamt Tak, has long-shed his image as such, and defies logic by playing roles that, at first glance, seem impossible for someone with his looks to accomplish. If you think his performances in Sarfarosh and Lagaan were great, I think the clincher is this movie, simply because the role is so different. The seemingly happy-go-lucky character with no worry in the world, could not have been played better, be it by the so-called superstar Shahrukh Khan, or by the great Amitabh Bachchan. The only person who could have pulled off this role convincingly is the aging South Indian star Kamalhasan. The movie by itself is a simple love story about the aspirations of a wannabe actress, played by the resurgent Urmila Matondkar, who with the assistance of an unknown mega star (played by Jackie Shroff) and an unselfish, unassuming poor friend (played by Aamir Khan), makes it big in Bollywood. Needless to say, the love triangle surfaces, and one of the two guys plays a martyr in this sacred triangle. Music by AR Rahman is sensational and the direction is simply superb. The movie is a great mix of comedy and drama, and is simply three hours of fun.My recommendation - WATCH IT if you haven't already. On behalf of the millions who have watched it, I think it is safe to say, you will go back to it again when you want to feel good.
