Director Santosh Singh has done a commendable job with Ranneti. He skillfully combines an actioner, political drama, and spy thriller, doing justice to each aspect. The series is a visual treat, with high production values and stunning cinematography that adds to the overall viewing experience.
The performances are another highlight of the series. Jimmy Sheirgill delivers a stellar performance as Kashyap Sinha, a camphor-sniffing R&AW agent once hailed as the best agent on the field, now dealing with PTSD after a botched mission. His portrayal of the character is nuanced and layered, making it one of the standout performances of the series.
Ashutosh Rana, as the fiercely sharp and evil Raqib, is the perfect choice for playing his archnemesis. His performance is chilling and leaves a lasting impact. Lara Dutta, as a communications officer, Manisha, gets the nuances of her character perfectly. Elnaaz Nourozi and Satyajeet Dubey also stand out in their roles, adding depth to the narrative.
The series does have a few predictable and far-fetched moments, especially regarding one of its pivotal characters. But these minor flaws do not overshadow the overall brilliance of the series. With an IMDb rating of 8.2/10, Ranneti is a masterclass in pacing and tension-building, seamlessly weaving together multiple plotlines to create a riveting and cohesive narrative.
