Rx 100

This story has a raw plot line which keeps the local audiences entertaining but don't forget to miss the last 30 min of this film as you will love this film after watching it.

In my eyes, this is a quality commercial movie. I am not a really big fan of commercial cinema and generally tip towards the Anurag Kashyap-type films. But I was interested to see Rx 100 when I came to know about the release of Tadap, the Bollywood remake of this title. I must say, this is an amazing movie to watch. There is romance, action, suspense, okay-ish humour, and nonetheless, a topsy-turvy story. The first half will feel really dragged and possibly confusing for some. But it is what the second half holds, that makes the whole movie a must watch. At no point, will anything unnecessary happen. I t might look like it is, but it is not. The last 40 minutes of the movie are what will make this a really good picture to watch. Some places where the movie lacks, are the acting by the lead actor Kartikeya. The acting does look a little hammy and forced or animated at times. No flow of emotions is seen at some places where it is possibly needed the most. Screenplay could be better. Overall, Rx100 is a picture you do not want to miss if you are looking for a gritty movie with intense action and powerful romance. My only concern outside the picture is with the remake it is getting in the form of Tadap, set to be released on 24th Sept, 2021. Bollywood is really dicey with treating remakes, so lets see how this one turns out. Peace out.

They had a good story but needed strong editing and strong performances from the lead pair. Unnecessary vulgarity and Hero getting beaten to pulp every 15 mins killed your interest . A movie which needed extraordinary performances from the Hero and Heroine had a average one from the Hero and below average from the Heroine. To be fair the lead actor tried hard but he just did not have the maturity and range to carry the role.Oddly the actors playing the lead actors father and lead actress father gave excellent performances. Makes you wonder what could have been achieved here with a good director and a lead actor like Vijay Devarokonda or VJS.

The most interesting sequence in the film is the appetizing street bajji and bonda making scene, compensating for the insipid dialogues and sub par comical poetry which makes the hero, who apparently has very low bar for sense of humour, laugh. A city educated girl, already in a relationship, comes home to village and falls for ruffian rugged looks of a rustic hulk, with shabby denouement - a poor story handled poorly.The movie could have been developed into a thrilling story of femme fatal, but as often happens, the real story is ten minutes which is just a cover for filling up rest of two and half hours with what now a days euphemistically goes by 'raw', 'bold' scenes and plenty of violence, in a formulaic trope. Kartikeya Gummakonda's is not bad when he is not acting or talking, especially in climax scenes with modulated rumbling diction that passes for a bad Telugu TV serial. Payal Rajput as the lead lady is decent without being scintillating. Her persona with commitment issues, even if not a role model, could have been moulded into a more interesting one, but this opportunity is frittered away, with little character development.

After the huge success of around reddy this movie sets the mark high for other new comers. Coming out age next generation movie with right amount of action romance songs and the hype much praised in television industry.
