Rangbaaz: The Bihar Chapter is the latest instalment in the popular “Rangbaaz” franchise now reimagined as a full‑length feature film rather than a web series. It dives deep into the dark underbelly of crime and politics in Bihar. The story tracks the ruthless ascent of Haroon Shah Ali Baig once a small‑time gangster, now a rising political power capturing in stark detail the transformation from street-level crime to political dominance.
Set against a backdrop of violence, power plays and moral compromise, the film explores how ambition, money and fear shape destinies. The tone remains raw, grounded, and intense eschewing glamorised gangster tropes for a more realistic, gritty portrayal. Critics and early viewers praise the movie’s refusal to romanticize crime, offering instead a hard‑hitting, morally complex vision of how underworld influence seeps into politics.
Synopsis
The film charts Haroon Shah Ali Baig’s evolution from a thug running petty crimes to a formidable player in Bihar’s political arena. Born in the shadows, Haroon gradually builds power: from owning lanes, controlling local influence, to banking on fear and loyalty. As he steps into politics, his ties with crime enable him to climb further, but also complicate his moral compass and personal relationships.
What makes the narrative gripping and morally ambiguous is that Haroon often plays the double role of villain and reluctant savior. His generosity and support for the poor win him popularity, even as his ruthless methods instill fear. The film doesn’t glorify crime; instead it paints a complex portrait of a man shaped by his circumstances and willing to do whatever it takes to survive and rule.
Expect heavy power‑play, betrayal, fear, and the unflinching portrayal of how crime and politics often blur in real life. The movie digs into the cost of ambition on society, as well as on the man who seeks dominance.
