RangiTaranga (English: Colourful Wave) is a 2015 Indian Kannada-language mystery thriller film written and directed by Anup Bhandari in his debut, and produced by H. K. Prakash, under Shree Devi Entertainers.

It features debutantes Nirup Bhandari, Radhika Chetan and Avantika Shetty in the lead roles, along with veteran actor, Saikumar.

It featured cinematography by US-based cinematographers Lance Kaplan and William David, the former of whom had previously collaborated with Bhandari on a short film.

Parts of the filming took place in Mysore, Bangalore, Madikeri, Puttur, Sira, Ottapalam, Alappuzha and Ooty.

She then convinces Gautham to visit her ancestral home in the village of Kamarottu in order to perform some rituals to solve her problems.

Horrified by the realization that she has killed a person and terrified by the prospect of legal repercussions, she confides in Indu and Gautham, who decide to take her to Kamarottu and create an alibi for her.

Under a thick blanket of fog, Siddharth and his friend on a motorbike collides with the car carrying Indu, Gautham and Harini, near the Kamarottu junction.

Harini, reluctant to go back to her previous life, assumes the identity of her now-dead friend Indu, and informes the authorities and Siddharth that he is her husband Gautham.

They initially suspect the local doctor, as he is the only person who has access to the pregnancy reports in the village, but he reveals that his girlfriend, Anasuya, was the first victim of the Guddada Bhoota.

After this incident, he became mentally tormented and began killing other women on the same day (July 18) while donning the Bhoota Vesha (devil's getup).

The movie made by debutantes has raised expectations among Kannada audience because of its cinematography by Hollywood cinematographers Lance Kaplan and William David.

RangiTaranga has brought Lance — whose recent films include Butterflies of Bill Baker, Trapped Girl, and Do You Believe in the Devil — to India to shoot for a project in a language he hadn't even heard.

"[12] B. Ajaneesh Loknath scored the film's background music and Anup Bhandari composed for its soundtrack, also writing lyrics for all but one track.

[14] The critics received the album well and noted for its non-usage of words from the English and Hindi languages in its tracks, which was the hitherto trend.

On the cinematography, he wrote, "... Lance Kaplan and William David capture the verdant and scenic vicissitudes of mountainous ravines and quietly flowing rivers of coastal Mangaluru, as also the famous tea gardens and hills of Ooty."

B Ajaneesh Lokanath's background score is on par with some of the best global thrillers, as is the cinematography by Lance Kaplan and William David.

[23] Shashiprasad S. M. of Deccan Chronicle rated the film 3/5 and wrote, "the director makes an impressive debut with this good suspense thriller.

[1] The movie completed 365 days run at 2 theatres in Bangalore- INOX Mantri Square in Malleswaram and Cinepolis Royal Meenakshi Mall.

By the end of the first weekend of the three-day run, it managed to break the lifetime records set by all previous Kannada films in the United States and became the highest grosser.
