Despite the grit, it never becomes a riveting film. Laal Rang is half-baked and unconvincing. There is a fleeting scene in which rickshaw-pullers sell their blood for money, but once the movie ends, it is long forgotten. The revelations about the dark underbelly of metropolitan cities never make it to the big screen. What could've been a shocking expose about the lucrative business of blood-theft, ends up as a dull film. The drama runs out of steam soon enough and unnecessary melodrama takes over. It is unforgivable that Syed steers clear of the nitty-gritties of the blood-theft mafia, reducing it to a mere prop in the larger scheme of things. His co-actor Akshay Oberoi is affable and the two share a warm on-screen camaraderie, but their act cannot cover up for the glitches in the plot. At one point when he flashes a shy, dimpled smile at his girlfriend, you can’t miss that he has all the makings of rustic romantic hero. In the romantic scenes, he is effectively charming.
He plays the brooding, elusive, sinister Shankar with elan.
