Radhe Shyam

This movie was supposed to be released in 2004s, I mean how come the guy who directed this movie has the idea of releasing it at 2022? This kind of stereotype based movies always make people walk out of theater. No wonder Prabhas and Pooja justified their roles in this lousy script. And specially Prabhas must need to choose the script wisely.

Pan-India movies are all the craze right now. We have had four already this year. The first one had Prabhas of Bahubali fame (the film that started it all). And I watched this film back to back with Mohanlal's Araattu; so you can imagine how excruciating/mentally draining it must have been.

Radhe Shyam is the story of one Aditya Vikram, an acclaimed palmologist/palmist. He reads the palms of famous people including Indira Gandhi (no idea why this movie was set in the late 70s). Aditya doesn't believe in love/relationships; he only believes in "Flirtationship". But (for obvious reasons) he falls in love with a girl, Prerna, a doctor. This also paves the way for arguments on science & palmistry. The rest of the story is more or less anyone's guess (multiplied by 100x cringe & continuous face palms).

Radhe Shyam is cringe from the word go. The character introductions are one of the worst till date. Microsoft Windows wallpapers feature heavily during most songs and during train sequences. Pooja Hegde's Prerna has a death wish as she requests random (some drunk) strangers to dangle her from the door of a running train. Prabhas is ridiculous & invincible as Vikram Aditya. A bus literally rams into him and he survives with just a small scratch on his head that happens to bleed profusely.

And don't get me started on the "epic" ship sequence at the end. It serves no purpose whatsoever! Just a way of showing that - we are spending a lot of money on this film (by shooting it in multiple languages & on the ship), so please go watch it. It also gives Jayaram additional screentime in a movie wherein he is only known as Ship Captain. Also, Indian Airlines is owned by the Emirates in this parallel universe. If Instagram permitted I would have gone on but sadly there is a word limit.

Watch it if you love cringe else just skip it.

A huge disappointment. The film does not live up to the hype it created. The makers failed to deliver a compelling love story. The weak story, dragged screenplay, and unbearable dialogue delivery makes this movie a passable affair.

The movie is visually grand and it has been shot on a grand scale in different parts of Europe. Some positive points of the film are songs, background score, cinematography, and the VFX but that can not save this clueless script and flat narration.

Prabhas and Pooja Hegde shares decent chemistry and the lead pair have delivered an average performance. Kunaal Roy Kapur, Bhagyashree, and all the supporting casts have nothing to offer here, a bunch of talented actors are simply wasted. Except for Sathyaraj and Sachin Khedekar, all other actors are just there to fill the screen space and spoken merely two or three lines. Why did Jagapathi Babu, Murali Sharma, Priyadarshi even agree to do these roles?

Direction 2/5 Acting 2/5 Cinematography + VFX 3/5 Story 1.5/5 Screenplay 1.5/5.

UV creations tried their best to keep best out put infront of audience..and they succeeded.. then music 🎶 is not up to mark... Thaman given great support with his BGM score... VFX team given their best... When comes to story radha krishna Kumar done his best from his side but this is not to the mark of prabhas... And chemistry between Pooja and prabhas is not as expected some scenes feels like forced.. and comdey us soul less.. lot of time taken to elevate side charecters.. ship sequence is good.. and first half is very slow.. and second created little intrest on movie... Finally good attempt by radha krishna Kumar.. and prabhas need to work more on strory selection.. this is my opinion..

What the hell did I just watch. I understood the value of money at every scene in this movie. It was suffocating, cringe and such a disappointing feeling throughout. I seriously don't understand who would dare to put so much money on such a low grade story/direction. I was desperately waiting to have one awesome experience while watching this entire film. I feel ashamed how desperate I was just because I am a Telugu film lover. The director- please don't make anymore movies. I have no doubt you can't make a good movie ever. The producer- I pity you and hope you gain good taste at least the next time. Actors- I feel sorry for you. Especially Pooja hegde while she was having a good run with good decent movies. I don't pity Prabhas as he must have worked and known the story before even it came on to the sets. Overall, save your time. Watch almost anything that you come across on ott and theatre's. I'm sure that will still be 1% better than this trash of a movie.
