Raanjhanaa is not a date movie or a feel-good film. It’s a tragic, operatic, and messy exploration of first love as a form of slow suicide. You will either love its raw energy or hate its problematic hero. But you will not forget it.
Dhanush’s career-best performance, Rahman’s music, and an ending that haunts you for days. Skip it if: You need a hero to root for, or you dislike slow-burn tragedies.
