Racha is a mix of commercial elements
and mass entertainment with class
appeal. The range of characters varies
right from a rudimentary mass
character in the form of Ram Charan to
the classy Tamannah. On a traditional
note, there is also the presence of the
villain Mukesh Rishi who was seen
sporting the authentic Khaddar Kurtha
with Dhoti. A sense of fashion prevails
over Ajmal who had the privilege of
wearing some well knitted designer
wear and though his presence was
brief, he did have enough opportunities
to flaunt his wardrobe.
Ram Charan Tej
Appears completely cool and casual
with street wear, in the first few scenes
he sports the checker shirts with open
buttons and a T-shirt inside and also a
scarf wrapped around his hand. The
narrow fit jeans with low waist made his
frame look tall in front of the camera.
As the film progressed, he got into more
trendy appearance with T-shirts,
Pullovers, Tank Tops. There were few
arm fit T-shirts which hugged his biceps
in the right way and slim-fit shirts only
displayed his well maintained physique.
This has given him an apt macho hero
look and feel. The best costumes were
seen in the second song. The designs
were more fusion oriented with
interesting prince like patterns and good
color combinations. An outfit with white
and gold tone and black top with Indian
styled waistcoat worked perfect for
Charan. Nevertheless, the torn jeans
and denims were also there for the
youth to make note. The trendy wear
specially the grey shirt combination in
Racha title song gave a charging appeal
to the viewers. The most buzzing song
'Vaana Vaana' had Charan revealing his
perfect body fit shirt and toned frame.
This is the only sequence where he was
seen in formal wear and the classy
Black and white combo along with wet
look made the song exotic.
Tamannah
Call her the fairy Barbie or envy her for
the complexion and vital stats of her
figure. In ‘Racha’ she maintains a very
trendy high class college girl image. She
looks adorable especially in purple
color, multi color dresses. Her well
toned body and curvaceous figure
makes her the hot choice for any form
of costumes be it glamorous or
traditional. During the first few scenes,
Tamannah is seen in Tracks and Shorts
which display a rather urban flavour.
She also gets into the more traditional
frame as the film progresses and is seen
in sarees. Her ultimate appeal is seen in
"Vaana vaana.." where she has a
sensuous Orange sari and a European
green gown. And sometime it said that
a color can beat up the look but here
with Tammu she fits into any color and
matches it perfectly! Not to forget her
frocks, multicolor shorts and boldness
in sarees it’s a complete perfect call.
This is the second good reason to watch
Racha!
Analysis
Not much effort was spent on Mukesh
Rishi’s wardrobe as he had to sport
only a single colour outfit throughout
the film. Overall, the film spoke of chic
designs for both Charan and Tamannah
and it was well balanced with urban
and contemporary wear. However,
there are times when few outfits didn’t
find relevance to the scenes but given
the tempo and the momentum, such
things went unnoticed. There is also a
sequence wherein Charan and
Tamannah enter into the forest with
one outfit but are seen in a different
outfit when they come out. Anyways,
the color combination, the choice of
casual, formal and ethnic wear has
been justified and it fitted the image
and role that the lead pair was
essaying.
