Renowned choreographer Ranju Varghese is back with his signature style in the upcoming film “Raid 2,” starring Ajay Devgn and Vaani Kapoor. The movie, set to release this week, features two standout tracks, “Kamle” and “Tumhen Dillagi,” choreographed by Ranju.
Capturing emotions through dance
“Raid 2” explores themes of trust, greed, and hidden truths. Ranju’s choreography for “Kamle” and “Tumhen Dillagi” brings these elements to life. “Kamle” is a romantic travel song set against Rajasthan’s picturesque backdrop. Ranju’s smooth choreography highlights the chemistry between Ajay and Vaani, capturing the essence of love and passion. “Tumhen Dillagi,” on the other hand, is an emotional love song filmed during a festive celebration. The choreography showcases the film’s complex themes, making the sequences visually stunning and integral to the narrative.
A fruitful collaboration
Ranju has worked with Ajay Devgn on several projects, including “Tanhaji,” “Total Dhamaal,” and ” Helicopter Eela.” He praises Ajay, saying, “Working with Ajay sir is always special. He’s a down-to-earth and talented actor.” This experience has made their collaboration seamless. Vaani Kapoor, on the other hand, is a perfectionist. Ranju recalls a scene they filmed in a single take, highlighting her dedication. “Both Ajay sir and Vaani made the choreography look effortless, making the shoot enjoyable,” he adds.
A new challenge
When Panorama Studios approached Ranju for “Raid 2,” he was excited about the opportunity to choreograph two distinct songs. “One was a romantic travel song, while the other was an emotional, festival-themed track. It was a great chance to showcase my versatility,” he explains. His hard work is evident in the final product, making “Raid 2” a must-watch for fans of dance and cinema.
