Plot: The movie is a prequel to the 2017 film Mufti and delves into the life of Bhairathi Ranagal who becomes the dreaded gangster of Ronapura.Movie review:
In 1985, a young Bhairathi Ranagal made repeated pleas to government officials to provide drinking water to his village, Ronapura, only to have them ignored. Frustrated and desperate, Bhairathi took a drastic step, planting bombs in a government building, which landed him in serious trouble.
Sentenced to prison in the Gornal district, Bhairathi spent his youth behind bars, shunned by fellow inmates because of his crime. Over time, he turned to books, developing a passion for reading that led him to pursue legal studies within the prison. Determined to fight for justice on behalf of the voiceless, Bhairathi emerged from prison and immediately set up his practice in a scrapyard. His dedication soon earned the admiration of Dr. Vaishali (Rukmini Vasanth), and he quickly gained a reputation for achieving justice for his clients.
As his good work gained popularity, Bhairathi was approached by a group of factory workers from Parande’s (Rahul Bose) steel company, who were denied mandatory labour rights and resources. Bhairathi’s intervention earned him Parande’s ire. Parande’s exploitation extended to secretly seizing the workers' lands, but even Bhairathi's legal efforts couldn’t secure justice, forcing him to consider alternative means.
The story intensifies in the second half, depicting Bhairathi’s evolution from advocate to gangster. Gaining control over Ratnapura’s mining areas, Bhairathi’s influence grows, challenging Parande’s dominance. Their rivalry escalates into a power struggle over Ronapura, a region rich in iron ore.
Bhairathi Ranagal, the first prequel in Kannada cinema, explores Bhairathi’s rise with a blend of emotion, action, and his relentless pursuit of justice for the oppressed. The first half depicts his initial hardships and aspirations, setting up a compelling narrative, while the second half brings high-energy sequences, bold dialogues, and background scores that add intensity to the story, even if some parts feel predictable.
Director Narthan has crafted a mass entertainer tailored to Shivarajkumar’s image, though not without some flaws. Memorable scenes, such as Bhairathi’s powerful entrance holding the Ramayana, leave an impression. While Rukmini Vasanth’s character could have added more depth, Chaya Singh and Rahul Bose shine in their roles. Narrated by Ramesh Aravind, Bhairathi Ranagal is sure to captivate Shivarajkumar fans and will appeal to those who enjoy crime dramas with an emotional core.
