Rebel Star Prabhas is back on the silver screen after 3 years of Saaho. UV creations bankrolled the project under the direction of Radhakrishna, who debut movie "Jil" was an average flick. Pooja Hegde is the female lead.
Story :- Vikramaditya is a world famous Palmist who believes there's no love line in his life and thus doesn't want to commit to any serious relationship. Prerana is a doctor who loves to enjoy every moment of life despite her problem. Destiny makes both of them meet and fall in love. Where does this love story end and what's their destiny forms the rest of the story.
Performances :- Pooja Hegde as Prerana is a perfect fit. She played it with elan. Prabhas as the Palmist and lover did an okay job. But lookd of Prabhas is terrible to say the least. If he was really looking that bad or it was the graphics done to his face, his eyes popped out, nose was big and looked very pale and stoned. To cut down the cheeks, graphics was used to his face which made him look unnatural and weird. Never have I seen Prabhas look so bad in any movie before this. Sharad Kelkar is good as the uncle of Prerana. Bhagyalakshmi as Aditya mother is overboard and not required at all. Jayaram and Priyadarshi tried to bring some laughs, but didn't work out. Krishnam Raju was unable to utter dialogue or even walk, not sure why he had to be casted. Murli Sharma doesn't have a single dialogue throughout the movie.
Technicians:- Songs are the soul for a love story and that's an utter failure in Radhe shyam. Except "Nee Rathale" no other song is good or catchy. Background score by Thaman is good. Costumes are done well, syncing with the location and time period chosen. Cinematography is okay. Graphics looked very cheap and bad. Too much graphics used for the outdoor locations, songs, climax ship portions, etc., Production costs are unnecessarily increased by choosing the foreign location, time period and unnecessary graphics just for grandeur.
Positivies :-
Pooja Hegde
Costumes
Plot
Negatives :-
Prabhas looks
Graphics
Boring narrattlion
Lack of emotional connect
Summary :- A love story with conflict as such could have been made with a medium budget and locally. The premise, grandeur wouldn't make the narration interesting. There is nothing gripping in the story that makes audience connect to.
Jil was not an hit or a classic. Handing over a 200 Cr budget movie to the director is a blunder. Same is the case with Saaho. Sujeet made a terrific debut with Run Raja Run, but he couldn't handle the image of Prabhas in Saaho, that too after. With these kind of movies, Prabhas is going to loose the market share and good name he got in Pan India. He also has to take care of his looks and choice of movies. He is spoiling his career just like how Pawan did after Kushi with too much gap in between movies, not taking care of looks, choosing bad Stories and directors. Hope he gets back on track with Salaar (Prashant Neel of KGF) and Adipurush.
Rating :- 2/5. Not interesting or engaging, worst than Saaho. Utterly disappointed with Prabhas screen presence.
