Chatrapathi (2005) dealt with a separated mother and son while the jealous sibling grows up hating the brother. It is also about the plight of the refugees who are enslaved by a ruthless criminal and what it takes for the hero to rebel up, inspiring his people while becoming a true Chatrapathi in protecting them. Then, jealous sibling filled with hate is back and does everything to keep the mother - son separated. Will the people's messiah ever gets to reunite with his mother forms rest of the story. The Hindi remake is just rehash of the scenes and songs, devoid of any emotions.
One thing that baffled me is the makers forgot that a Hindi dubbed version of the Telugu version already exist yet they went ahead and made this remake with Bellamkonda Sreenivas getting his voice dubbed, in turn making this film look like a dubbed film with terrible dialogues for himself as well as the rest of the actors and poor bgm. Director V. V. Vinayak known for scoring with remakes, truly fails to understand the SS Rajamouli's film and the end result is this soulless drama.
The original was already dated and they managed to make the remake look even more dated as well. There is no proper continuity within the scene let alone two different ones and the forced insertion of songs made me all the more sad. Performances too are majorly bland by everyone and there is no attempt to leave a mark even in the crucial scenes. The less spoken about the VFX the better. The remake fails on all front right from the mother-son sentiment to the massy commercial entertainer with lackluster drama and uninspired action sequences.
