Plot

The film tells the story about a strict IPS officer, Ragini (Ragini Dwivedi), who aims to rid the society of goons and corrupt politicians, and also ensure that women lead a safe and decent life. In the process she is raped by the goons as revenge against her; they brutally assault her by using their call girl women as bait. The crux of the story is based around how her name is ruined in the police department and how she takes revenge.

Production

The filming of Ragini IPS began on 24 May 2012, on Ragini Dwivedi's 22nd birthday.[5] The stunts for the film were directed by Mass Madha.[6] Director Anand P.

Reception

Kavya Christopher of The Times of India gave the album a rating of one out of five and said, "The number of songs for Ragini IPS has been restricted to two, and it is undoubtedly one of the wisest decisions taken by whosoever has done that." and concluded writing, "Musically, this film assures just mediocrity."[10]

Release and reception

The film was set for release on Ragini Dwivedi's 23rd birthday on 24 May 2013 but was postponed to August due to various reasons. It was then postponed for a 27 December release. The release again got delayed after sources said the producer of the film was requested by the producer and director of Chatrapathi to postpone its theatrical release due to both films slated to release on 27 December.[11] After delaying the release for almost a year, the film was finally released on 28 March 2014.

Critical reception

Ragini IPS received positive to mixed reviews from critics upon its theatrical release. G. S. Kumar of The Times of India gave the film a rating of three out of five and wrote, "...Ragini IPS is purely a commercial flick. The formula is not novel, with action queen Malashri having portrayed similar roles earlier. Ragini's high-octane stunts may be a draw, but the cop thriller scores low on dialogues."[12] Indiaglitz gave the film a 7.5/10 rating and wrote, "...'Ragini IPS' a solid action film from one of the ravishing beauty on Kannada screen Ragini." and concluded writing that the commercial entertainer was worth watching.[13] Sify.com gave the film a rating of 3/5 and wrote, "Ragini IPS finally sees a theatrical release and when watched for something out of the box, the audience find nothing but another usual woman oriented action movie. Though the script does not appeal as expected, it is quite successful in entertaining the mass audience and also tells people what is right and wrong in a realistic manner."[14]
