Plot
The family drama narrated by Rukmini (Rachita Ram), who is kidnapped by the henchmen of Bhaskar (Sadhu Kokila) tells the story of Sharath Chandra (Prakash Rai), a multimillionaire based in Europe. He expresses his wish to reconcile with his daughter Saraswati (Madhoo), who was thrown out of the house because she married Prakash (Devaraj), a lawyer, against his wishes. The task of bringing her back is given to Chandra’s grandson, Bhargav Chandra (Sudeep) who takes it up as a challenge. That brings Bhargav to Bengaluru, where he takes up a job as a driver to get into his aunt’s house. Here he meets Saraswati’s three daughters and the entire family. While the film entertains with their interactions, the twist comes when Saraswati reveals to Bhargav that she is aware of his true identity and tells him that she has no intention of going back to her father. Will Bhargav accomplish his task establishes the second half of Ranna, ending with an emotional climax.In the director’s own words, Ranna is a combination of family bonding, love, hatred with space for some humour too. He has transformed the ‘wish fulfillment’ drama cliches into a visual treat by lending it a stylised treatment. Kishore draws one of the best performances from Sudeep through piercing dialogues. Throughout the film, he proves that the greatness of an actor is not through his past fame but only through evolution.
