Rebel

You need to be a hard-core fan of Prabhas to watch this movie. Just watch, not even like. The movie is worst at every aspect. Story, songs, actors, direction, visuals....and so on! You name it and you got the worst of it in this movie. Prabhas is the only tolerable thing about this movie because one can see he is probably the only one who has put any kind of effort in the movie. It's, definitely, not his best work but he remains the best in this film. Rest of the actors are simply annoying, intolerable and forgettable. Even the villains do not make much of an impact in the story. I do not think even the dialogue writer, story writer or the director has made any effort for this movie.

For all the viewers who have just begun to watch South Indian movies or Prabhas's movies due to Baahubali: Please do not watch this movie or judge Prabhas with this movie.

I never search for any kind of logic in these kind of movies, but this was way pass that category.

I always have high hopes when the cast is this much good, but I was painfully disappointed. Normally this movie was supposed to be full of entertainment. But alas the movie has no good dialogues , neither a strong story line, writer forcefully included some emotional scenes which are not much relevant to the movie. And the most disastrous part was the comedy. There was hardly any comedy which is unlike for a telegu movie.

The good things are the action is good, and the actor-actress are eye candy which helped me a lot throughout the movie.

Actually this movie unexpected........ Work of whole one is very perfect and the best choice of actors take place who mKe this film attractive every dialog is enough to say superior of supers fim.. AND ONCE AGAIN NEVER THOUGHT THAT THIS TYPE OF FILM EVER SEEN IN LIFE.

Story: Rishi comes to Hyderabad in search of Mafia's deadly duo Stephen and Robert. Nobody knows how they look like. Rishi's mission is to identify them and eliminate them. He starts from the bottom of the mafia pyramid to get to the top. In the process he uses a beautiful girl (Tamanna) who dislikes her father's criminal activity and settles as a dance teacher in Bangkok. The rest of the story is about what prompted Rishi to search for Stephen and Robert and how he eliminates them.

Prabhas: Prabhas has a kind of screen persona and a ravishing and manly chiseled body that he makes surrealistic and superlative action sequences completely believable. His dialogue delivery as a angry young man is a great asset. Lawrence has used these two unique features of Prabhas to maximum while working for Rebel film. Prabhas is completely awe-inspiring as Rebel. Prabhas also possess a rare quality of delivering comedy for an out-and-out action hero.

Others: Tamanna is beautiful as a dance teacher settled in Bangkok. Deeksha Seth is completely spontaneous in this role compared to her earlier films. Krishnam Raju dons the new get-up of white haired elder man who is dressed in white designer suits all the time. Mukesh Rushi plays an important role. Brahmanandam is used for the comedy in the first half. Kovai Sarala did the role of Tamanna colleague in Bangkok dance school. Pradeep Rawat plays one of the villains. Dr. Bharat Reddy does a vital negative role. There are many new faces who have acted in negative roles. Supreet did an important role of 'right-hand-man' to hero. Ali is entertaining in a cameo.

Rebel is an revenge-based action film. Prabhas is known as one of the best mass stars of Telugu cinema. Lawrence's movies are known to appeal to the raw senses of mass movie lovers. Rebel is no exception. Interval block is really good. Rebel has decent commercial elements and targeted at masses. Masses will like it.

Watching Rebel, starring Prabhas, feels like being trapped in a relentless storm of chaos, bad decisions, and questionable filmmaking. It's a film that promises action and drama but delivers a mess so muddled that even the most forgiving viewer would struggle to find redemption in it.

The writing here is the first major offender. The story, if you can call it that, is riddled with clichés and feels like it was cobbled together from a dozen other films, all far better executed. Characters are poorly fleshed out, and what's worse is that everyone-good guys included-behaves like morally bankrupt individuals. There's no one to root for because they all seem equally unpleasant, which only adds to the film's tiresome slog.

Prabhas does his best to bring charisma to the lead role, but even his presence can't save Rebel from its glaring flaws. The fight choreography is laughably bad, relying on childlike logic that defies all physics and reason. Watching grown men fly across the screen in slow motion with each punch made me question whether this was meant to be a parody. Add to that the gratuitous violence, which feels neither impactful nor necessary, and you're left with scenes that are both exhausting and hard to take seriously.

The direction lacks any sense of control or vision, with pacing that jumps wildly between scenes and tonal shifts that make the film feel schizophrenic. The silliness hits its peak in moments that are supposed to be dramatic or thrilling but come off as unintentionally comical. I found myself laughing more than I should have, and not for the right reasons.

Ultimately, Rebel is a derivative, poorly executed mess that squanders its star power and any potential it might have had. The film revels in its absurdity but doesn't seem to realize it, and what could've been an entertaining action romp turns into a long, frustrating experience. If you're looking for thrills or even guilty-pleasure fun, I'd suggest looking elsewhere, this one's best avoided.
