This series has written Tigmanshu dhulia all over it!So obviously its a must watch,Tigmanshu himself plays a very important role,though story is a bit redundant but the director has presented it in a new way!

Slow Paced but Catches on You
simpleshivam24 December 2018
Recently finished the series as I come from UP and the story is about one of the most dreaded gangsters of my high school days. The narrative slowly builds on you and is a lot more in-control than other similar series like Mirzapur (of course it was Epic). Saqib has put of lot of hard work but the direction is weak at some places mainly in terms of character building. A little more color and glamour could have been good. The supporting cast of Dhulia, Ravi Kishan is good but Ranvir Shorey could have been better. Overall, a decent watch that is slow and subtle but engaging. Looking forward to a racier version in season 2.
Slow but its good

Binge watching worthy gangster drama with a difference

Binge watching worthy gangster drama with a difference, Rangbaaz has a heart and over the 9 episodes series you fall in love with Shiv Prasad Shukla and don't want to see this kind of end despite knowing the fate of all gangsters.
Must watch for everyone.

Good as the 90 kids have grown up seeing this

The Story covers every reality which it can with small changes in name . The acting by Tigmanshu Dhulia and Ravi Kishan both stands out (as always).
Could have been more successful with addition of more drama and stretching the original story as everything moves too fast for content which has so much of depth.
Overall a nice series.

Outstanding , Excellent !

ZEE5 is rocking these days . No doubt it's content is much better than its rivals . Whether it's Rangbaaz or Aprahan or Abhay or The Final Call . ZEE5 is the undisputed king at the moment .
Taking about Rangbaaz phir se , we have Jimmy Shergill , Sushant Singh , Sharad Kelkar, Mohammad Zeeshan Ayub and Harsh Chchaya. Creative Producer : Nishikant Kamat . Do I need to say anything more ?
One of the best web series . Continuity in narration , no dull moments . From start to finish , it's fast paced and stick to the subject ,without beating the bush around . Editing could have been better .
Must watch 10 out of 10 stars 🌟

Jimmy shergill and gul panag have done great acting. The show is set and highlights real life issues.Background score gives goosebumps sometimes.
The grip is maintained totally till the end.
The last 20 minutes of the show are awesome and spine chilling. You either get drastically emotional

2 Seasons, 2 Stories, 2 Gangsters, Same results !!

Rangbaaz and Rangbaaz phirse (season 2) are about the only offerings on ZEE5's humongous sub standard show-menu apart from the Siege of 26/11, that has some amount of quality in its writing and a little substance in its making and treatment. Both the seasons are not connected in any way except for the fact that, they are of the same genre. Based on true events and persons, season 1 is about Shri Prakash Shukla, an UP based gangster in the 1990s played decently well by Saqib Saleem. Jimmy Shergill plays the notorious troublesome Rajasthani gangster Anandpal Singh who was killed in 2017.
Both the seasons are very watchable, if one doesn't mind a very little bit of Bollywood-ish melodrama laced into the otherwise decent screenplays. In fact these two seasons along with Siege of 26/11, are, out of a 100 other dubious shows are the on ZEE5 that is anywhere near Netflix and Amazon Prime video's quality offerings.
Rangbaaz strangely has a soapy styled but steady cinematography over the seasons. Music & production design oscillates from good to bad throughout. Costumes though decent in season 1, was terrible in season 2, Jimmy Shergill was wearing some atrocious clothes even when scenes were decent. Makeup are overdone in many places across seasons. Tigmanshu Dhulia and Ravi Kishan in season 1 and Spruha Joshi and Sushant Singh in season2 were the best in supporting roles.
Overall, Rangbaaz is definitely a very watchable web series that is equally entertaining and engaging at the same time. Both the seasons are free of any sex scenes, that is a rarity these days, so that it can be watched prime time along with family around. If one is a fan of crime and gangster movies, Rangbaaz and Rangbaaz Phirse will cater entertainment on a silver platter. 6.9 stars for season1 out of ten and 6.8 stars for season 2 out of 10 for sheer entertainment value, that is way better than what Mirzapur offered.

Disappointing
Prof_McGonagall11 January 2020
This is the story about Rajasthan's infamous dreaded gangster Aanandpal. First about acting, lot of known and big names were there and almost everyone did excellent job. Only problem I found was in casting. Jimmy with chocolate boy image is playing a role of dreaded gangster, so it is not convincing.
Lot of real incidents were shown was good but in between them there were big holes which were filled by loads of unnecessary emotional drama, which made it boring and stretchy.
The biggest problem with such kind of series is being biased but director and writer failed completely. The whole attempt seems to portray gangster as victim and stress were on his friends and family. They failed to capture emotions of innocent victims of that gangster.
Another problem was making it very flimsy and creating drama. This a real story so they should have stick to it to make it authentic rather than creating drama based on some hypothesis.
In the end you feel cheated like you are participating in a act where gangster was made a hero. A cruel ugly gangster was shown as soft heart innocent person.
In one line, a gangster's fan fair funeral was given more stress than piles of cop's dead bodies.
Too good

Worth watching Indian crime drama

Warning: Spoilers
Good things first. Casting and acting are good and seems real. Probably the critics are looking for a breaking bad or Game of throne from a real life story. Location and cinematography helps in realism. Ravi Kishen and Ranveer shine and I want to see Ravi Kishen in more leadership roles as it suits him well because of his mannerism in acting.
Things that did not work - mainly the characterisation of Shiv Shankar Shukla. Somehow the story is trying to glorify criminalist through his characterisation. He has killed many innocent people including political leaders. Hence showing his remorse seemed forced. Also a Romeo like him rejecting physical pleasures in Bangkok seemed unreal. Overall the show has more good things to remember than bad things. Indian streaming channels have bright future!
UP-Bihar Thriller
sarnobatadi29 May 2021
Recently watched this series on Zee5. The story is quite interesting and they have presented and directed in new way which makes it different from other serials in this category
Why to Watch - If you love action, thriller and UP-Bihar gang wars then go for it you gonna love this series and a must watch for you. If you are a big fan of Gangs of wassepur then you will surely love this series
Things I didnt liked personally - This series is too long with repsect to its content some unnecessary scenes extended its length it would have been wrapped up in 6-7 episodes .
Decent series !

Overrated show
mb_leo20 April 2020
This show is so overrated.
We have watched a lot of gangster based show which are way beyond this show in content.
I don't understand why it is rated so high on IMDB. If you have watched mirzapur and like it , this show will be a bland version of that show.
