Dange Review: Bejoy Nambiar Produces An Impressive Film Packed With Thought-Provoking Scenes

Dange Movie Review: Dange has a unique voice, style, color, and feel, much like Bejoy Nambiar’s earlier works. Its novel appeal and handling are its greatest assets. A fictitious St. Martin’s University in Goa serves as the setting for the film, which centers on the lives of Xavier, Yuva, Rishika, Gayatri, and Ambika, college students. These young people, who will be the future’s torchbearers, are best characterized as clichés about which social media may write lengthy articles.

They don’t prioritize studying at all. They are involved in activism, fighting, drugs, and student politics during their free time. They support speaking up against injustice and rebelling for a cause. While Xavier seeks retribution from his boyhood buddy, who finally turned into a mute observer while he was harassed and abused at school, Gayatri and Ambika want to lead the charge for justice for students by challenging Siddhi, another powerful student. On the other hand, Yuva and Rishika are typical, enjoyable students who ultimately discover their calling in life.

It’s a college where undergraduates are known to pick fights at the drop of a hat and to push juniors into a “anti-ragging zone” board. Generally speaking, St. Martin’s University is a stereotypical Bollywood college where students are very hip and stylish. Nevertheless, you accept the reality that Bejoy crafts. Dange has a very innovative atmosphere. Although the topics discussed are not first-world, they are still very relevant and do not warrant ridicule.

In addition to the director, brownie points should go to cinematographers Jimshi Khalid and Presley Oscar D’Souza, editor Priyank Prem Kumar, and cinematographer Jimshi Khalid for making the movie a visual feast. Dange is a fast-moving route, clocking in at around 153 minutes. The filmmakers don’t take their time presenting the characters and go right to the core of the story. The neon lighting enhances the film’s cool factor in most visually spectacular instances, particularly during battle scenes. Danger is erratic and to its advantage. It also emphasizes flair and sophistication, making sure to keep substance and subtlety front and center. Its panache is enhanced by the accompanying music.

Praised as a romantic adventure, Dange addresses a number of issues regarding students and the contemporary environment they live in and may influence, all without being didactic. Sappy romance has no place here, and each side tale enhances and enriches the main narrative. Indeed, you could really love this smooth adventure journey if you can resist being nervous and agitated due to the very loud music.

Bejoy and his group should also be commended for their astute casting decisions. Reiterating his belief that he can do great things if given the correct roles, Harshvardhan Rane has shown that he can never go wrong with his decisions (thanks to Haseen Dillruba and Tara VS Bilal). He portrays Xavier with a great deal of delicacy, compassion, and beauty, and he brings a special “thehraav” to the role. In Yuva, Ehan Bhat delivers a powerful performance that balances his quietness and manages to capture your interest with enviable reserve. Nikita Dutta makes an outstanding Rishika. Her Rishika is no nonsense, boisterous at times, and yet very kind.

Following her captivating debut in Modern Love Chennai’s short Vaazh as a blind girl, TJ Bhanu turns in another outstanding performance. Though it could just be coincidence, it’s intriguing to see her in roles (like Guns & Gulaabs) that quietly and unintentionally question gender norms on a regular basis. Bravo to her for consistently portraying women with resolute inner power and expressive gaze, which uplifts a script to a whole new level!

Additionally outstanding are Taniya Kalrra and Zoa Morani, as well as the rest of the cast. We wish Danish Sait, who plays Father Francis, had more on screen time. But don’t miss Dange if you’re sick of the same old thrillers and want to enjoy a fantastic, thought-provoking, modern action drama—tales like this should be shared with a larger audience so they may be told again and again.
