Critic consensus
Critical reception for Rangrezz is predominantly negative to mixed, with most reviewers finding the film a disappointing remake. The screenplay and its handling of the second half drew the most consistent criticism, with several critics noting a loss of focus, narrative incoherence, and lusterless writing. A minority of reviewers found merit in its social drama elements and the energy of its young ensemble, though even measured praise was tempered by reservations about the film's execution and direction.

Film review ·
Priyadarshan has been growing so steadily unwatchable these days that you fear the worst when you step into Rangrezz, a remake of the Tamil hit Naadodigal. As the film unspools, each of those fears come true: this is rock-bottom.
Film review ·
Go for it. The rebellious boys' club of Rangrezz is every bit as meritorious as its counterpart in Kai Po Che!.
Film review ·
Rangrezz is a powerful social drama that brims with the urgency of the young and the audacious. Its ideology may be deeply flawed but perhaps that's the point the film is trying to make: being clueless; and often misguided while being young is probably the right way towards self-discovery.
Film review ·
'Rangrezz', Priyadarshan's remake of a Tamil film, has a story without a convincing purpose, point or plan.
Film review ·
On the whole, RANGREZZ has an impressive first half, but loses focus in the post-interval portions. One definitely expected more!
Film review ·
Rangrezz does its best to enthuse a fresh perspective on the clichéd tale of love, which is commendable. However, the movie fails for its lusterless screenplay and dull stars that leave the audiences famished despite an intriguing plot.
Film review ·
Don't be fooled by this simplistic story. The screenplay springs up a major surprise in the second half when every thing you watched and believed in is rubbished off.
