A wanna be sensation surrendered to its desperate Telugu mass zone and super fictional predictability.
Shyam Singh Roy (2021) :
Brief Review -
A wanna be sensation surrendered to its desperate Telugu mass zone and super fictional predictability. Shyam Singh Roy is based on a reincarnation topic that we all judge as a myth, but the film proves it logically and lawfully right. However, one must understand that it all goes ostensibly fine, not theoretically. Moreover, its hardcore predictability kills the entire thought process. Vasu, an aspiring filmmaker and writer wants to film a short film and requests a stranger girl to be his heroine. You don't even have to predict that somehow the girl agrees and they fall in love. Come on, dear writers, get over this mediocrity at once. So, the next moment he has a big feature film in his hands and expectedly, it's a blockbuster success. Now here we have a turning point of reincarnation, personality disorder, psychological treatment and findings which takes us back to his previous life in 1969. Here, the film goes completely massy. Shyam Singh Roy is writer cum social worker cum messiah for needy ones cum hardcore macho hero. He fights just like you see any macho hero fight in masala film, rather he's quite dashing. One thing I didn't get here was whether the writer was really showing the Bengal of the 1970s. I mean that untouchability issue or Devadasi abrogation was way too old. If I remember well, it was Raja Rammohan Roy who was fighting for it way back in time. The kind of modern, corporated Kolkata Satyajit Ray has shown in his films in the early 70s was not found here. Wasn't it a big loop hole? Anyway, the rest of the story is as predictable as any typical family drama you have been seeing since the 50s. Nani is outstanding as Shyam Singh Roy, but his portrayal of Vasu is no match to it. Sai dances well and Krithi looks gorgeous, that's all. Rahul Sankrityan should have given it a little more thought, an intelligent one i guess, and it would have been a sensational flick. A good attempt though and one time watchable.
RATING - 6/10*
