Pure craziness with lots of eye candy
I never thought going into the movies with my family that very first week this came out that it would become a huge hit internationally--or that it would win a fricking Oscar. Crazy. But I'm honestly glad that this movie was the one chosen to represent our movies and an industry that has such a wide array of talent.
You have to suspend belief a lot with these types of movies but that's really what entertainment is. And sure, the CGI is cringe, but India really doesn't have the top tier CGI technology that America has and they sure as heck don't invest a lot of money into it because it's not considered the most important aspect of Indian cinema. Putting questionable CGI aside, I still loved every second of the crazy fight scenes. They were so over the top (even by my standards) that it was truly a fun watch. The background music for each titular character (Ram's was my favourite) always ALWAYS hyped me up. I could literally feel my blood pumping in my veins during his intro when he fought off literally hundreds of men. That one scene where everyone started piling on top of him and we were inside with him, hearing his heavy breathing and feeling the claustrophobia was a masterpiece. Usually the hero gets up and then they just fly off but we were shown every fight decision Ram chose to make and breaking that scene down little by little made it more easier for the audience to believe.
This is a movie that Hollywood would and could never recreate. A movie where two men love each other like brothers and is unapologetic for it with amazing action sequences that have you literally squealing in your seat. I'm used to 3 hour movies and with some movies you can reaaaally feel it but with this? It was all over too soon.
Ram Charan never disappoints. He's eye candy but dang, can the man act AND dance. It deserved that award for the song but honestly, it deserved the best foreign film award as well. - NRJ0rdan - 7 March 2024
One of the best movies ever made
From the moment I sat down to write about this cinematic masterpiece, I was overwhelmed by the myriad emotions it stirred within me. This film is a remarkable exploration of the human condition, masterfully depicting the cruelty and complexity that define us. Its aesthetic execution is flawless, striking a perfect balance that captivates the viewer's senses and emotions.
The narrative seamlessly weaves laughter, tears, and awe, offering a refreshingly innovative perspective on historical storytelling.
The performances are nothing short of spectacular, with actors delivering authenticity even in moments of levity. Each scene, whether poignant or light-hearted, is crafted with precision, ensuring that the humor enhances rather than detracts from the film's depth. The musical numbers and choreography are executed with such grace and relevance that they enrich the storyline, appearing exactly when needed to elevate the narrative.
I extend my deepest gratitude to everyone involved in the creation of this film. It's a rare gem that deserves widespread acclaim and recognition. As a fervent admirer of cinema, it has been some time since a film has touched me so profoundly.
Despite the big cast, the movie navigates its multitude of characters with ease, avoiding any sense of overcrowding, preachiness, or gratuitous violence. It's a testament to the skillful storytelling and direction that the film maintains its coherent and impactful message throughout.
Do yourself a favor and watch this.
