Rangeen follows a journalist who wishes to become a gigolo after catching his wife cheating on him.
Rangeen, the latest drama series featuring Vineet Kumar Singh, Rajshri Deshpande, and Taaruk Raina in the lead roles, has dropped on Prime Video. After the trailer was released, Rangeen seemed to take the audience on a fun and emotional ride. As the episodes unfolded, fans noticed that the series does not have the clarity of what it wants to be.
Soon after the release, fans took to Twitter to show their disappointment as the series lost its charm while jumping from comedy to drama to awkward emotional scenes. One user wrote, 'A man becomes a gigolo… to take revenge on his cheating wife. #RangeenOnPrime had a fire concept but lost the plot midway. Bold start. Bland end. Watch it for Sheeba Chaddha & some quirky moments. Skip if you're expecting depth."

Another user also noted that although the series had a bold premise, it failed at execution. '# Rangeen: Bold premise, shaky execution. #VineetKumarSingh is sincere but lost in a muddled script. #TaarukRaina & #SheebaChaddha shine, but tonal shifts and slow pacing dim the spark. A quirky gigolo drama that starts vibrant but fades. 3/5"

Someone else humorously noted, 'Kids are watching #MandalaMurders, and adults are hyped for #Sarzameen. And #Rangeen? Prime Video just ghosted its show. Strong cast. Great story. ZERO buzz."
What Is The Plot Of Rangeen?
Rangeen begins with a journalist named Adarsh Johri (played by Vineet Kumar Singh), who runs a newspaper, and his wife Naina (played by Rajshri Deshpande), who supports him unconditionally. Adarsh is fully focused on his career and his newspaper business, which he wants to grow across the state. However, things take a sharp turn when he catches his wife cheating on him with a male escort, aka gigolo, Sunny (played by Taaruk Raina). After catching them in the act, Adarsh decides to follow the gigolo to make his life hell.
In a turn of events, Adarsh receives a reality check from Naina, who shocks him by saying that Adarsh could not satisfy her in bed, and therefore, she had to find solace in a gigolo. After hearing this, Adarsh decides to become a gigolo and takes help from Sunny. Will Adarsh become a gigolo and go on the path of self-discovery, or will he succumb to the temptation of the profession? The climax of Rangeen will have your answer. Directed by Amardeep Galsin and Amir Rizvi, the series ultimately did not meet the expectations of the fans.
