Indian cinema’s maverick man: Fahadh Faasil does it again
Hindustan TimesHe plays Ranga, a Bengaluru don who befriends three engineering students and becomes their protector / elder brother from hell. Ranga is cheerfully unhinged, mercurial and violent but also generous, affectionate and eager for validation.. His sartorial style is all-white paired with thick gold chains, multiple gold rings and Aviator sunglasses. This is how they encounter Ranga and his sidekick Amban Over the last few years, Fahadh, one of India’s finest actors, has created a gallery of memorable rogues. In Mari Selvaraj’s Maamannan, he is a man from a dominant caste, who hates losing so much that when his dog loses a race, he beats it to death. Fahadh’s performance serves as a reminder that movie magic doesn’t come from bloated budgets, sculpted bodies or dazzling costumes.
