राधे श्याम

The movie isn't a regular Indian film. Its has a strong plot weakened by slow narration.

With Prabhas as hero, many would expect action sequences, stylish fights, a villian face-off plot and much more. But this is a completely different movie that has only drama which may end in disappointment for many viewers.

The Good 1. Plot 2. Visuals 3. Songs and BGM 4. Location

The Bad 1. Slow narration

Conclusion: Its a good movie but for a one time watch. Go to theatre only for visuals. If not for visuals, then its best to prefer OTT over theatre.

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.

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.

I respect the people who have rated this movie 10/10... It's not their mistake... Probably this was the first movie they watched in their life. Long way to go... You'll soon watch masterpieces and change your view about this. I feel sad for my country's young generation.

It's a nice movie , if you expect action or mass you'll be disappointed but for ppl who love fairy tales & Disney movies this is a treat. Could have been better in VFX & in narration but overall a good movie.
