Ranbanka is a Rajasthani word which means a Warrior. Manish Paul plays the warrior who stands up against the tyranny and treachery of Ravi Kishen who plays the local MLA’s brother. It is an action thriller is about a common man who is triggered to turn into a rebel.
The story is set in Mathura in North India, where till recently it was the rich and the powerful who would almost control the streets and the city with their might.
Rahul Sharma (Manish Paul) is an engineer who is just posted to Mathura. Rahul settles down in the Northern State with his beautiful wife Priya (Pooja Thakur) and their son Ayush (Avya Agarwal).
They are a happy family until one day the local MLA’s brother Raghav (Ravi Kishen) comes in their life. Raghav has terrorized the locals of Mathura, and he runs a parallel administration in the city, with most of the tenders awarded to his group.
Raghav’s prying eyes fall on Priya and he is desperate to get married to her no matter whether she is already married or has a son. He forces Priya to accept his proposal which, when reported to the Police escalates the tension further as the local Police Department is much under Raghav’s influence.
However Raghav’s brother, the upright MLA Prakash Singh (Rudra Kaushish) disapproves his younger brother’s behavior and lifestyle.
The Sharma family try an unsuccessful attempt to escape the city and then the goons go to the extent of murdering the engineer’s son, which completely devastates Rahul and Priya’s lives.
The revenge saga then begins, though lacking the intensity as such. Pooja Thakur is fine as the attractive mother, Manish Paul as an engineer is okay, however as the revenge seeking angry young man, he is misfit and one often feels pity for the boyish looking hero attempting hard to put on that avenging look or the fire on his face, which fails miserably.
As a Ranbanka (The warrior) he is “perfectly miscast”.
The film rests solely on Ravi Kishen who manages his negative character with panache and flair. Ravi has many noteworthy moments and thankfully he is not loud as he usually is in most of his recent Bollywood films.
Keshu Ramsay’s (of Ramsay Brother’s horror film makers of yesteryears fame) son Aryeman makes his directorial debut with this action thriller, which is an above average action thriller.
