Lal Salaam

I went into Lal Salaam with high hopes, but the film left me deeply disappointed. While the premise had potential, the execution lacked depth and coherence. The storyline felt disjointed, and the characters failed to make any meaningful impact.

The pacing was uneven, with many scenes dragging unnecessarily, making the film feel much longer than it needed to be. The dialogues, instead of being impactful, came across as bland and uninspired. Even the performances by the lead cast, who are usually dependable, seemed half-hearted and lacked conviction.

Technically, the film had some good visuals and decent music, but they couldn't save the experience from feeling hollow. It's a shame because the themes the movie aimed to explore deserved far better treatment.

Unfortunately, Lal Salaam ends up being an unmemorable and tedious watch. It's hard to recommend this one.

Why well handled narrative?

First of all I appreciate the Director & Producer for their guts to make a project like this. Hope this will make other creators to choose such a challenging concept. Whatever the flaws , the movie is a must watch because : 1. It's a sensitive plot , which is handled very well throughout.

2. To encourage the creators to do more projects like this(which will change many things in this society ) 3. To feel the power of humanity.

4. To believe in unity.

Moreover the main message I got through the movie is " Humanity & peace is greater than all other nonsense religion/cast whatever". As a social animal it's our responsibility to be united & protect the nature.

Collecting crores together doesn't mean it's a good movie , but giving useful messages & information like this to the society make a movie good.

Whenever a director has to use voiceover to move the plot forward, it's a sign of poor storytelling. In this movie the director uses voice over to tell us what is happening on screen. Unnecessary symbolism sprinkled in to make it seem like an art film, but it needs a more talented story teller to pull it off. The non-linear story telling doesn't have any suspense either as there are barely any stakes.

Vishnu Vishal and Vikrant are completely wasted. The supporting cast is forgettable. Even Rajinikanth seems to be phoning his performance in.

People who've seen this will have more appreciation for Darbar and Jailer. This movie isn't even worth watching on OTT.

Lal Salaam: a great film with a very important social message. I don't know why people are giving such bad reviews about this film.

Pros: Very engaging screenplay, Rajinikanth's character was well written, great performance by Vishnu, Vikranth and Thambi Ramaiah. BGM and songs were good Cons: Cinematography could've been better, Fight scenes could've been better.

I'm so happy that Rajnikanth took this role because the impact was so special when Rajnikanth spoke about "humanity is above religion" It is important to remember that we are all ONE, we're aren't supposed to be separated by Religion/Caste.

Overall: 7/10.

As I've titled 'why so much hatred' for a film which denounces Hatred..? A movie which conveys religious harmony with no vulgarity excess bloodshed item songs seems like doesn't connect with nowadays audience i suppose....! Yes certainly flaws are there but most of the reviews are personal & flawed....!! Anyways it was a good watch on ott.. An extended cameo for rajnikanth who looked every part of the role appropriate..!! A movie which showcases both the religions finer sides...!!! One thing that was irritating was that every scene had either a BGM or a song playing in the background i mean literally every scene which i felt little heavy on the ears...!! Coz the unwanted music was eating into the seriousness of the scene which means most of the scenes ends up making no impact..!! Anyways a nice attempt by the director to convey a message which seems to be the NEED OF THE HOUR.
