Movie Review -:
It can be said that this film provides a vintage treat that Darling hero Prabhas’s fans have been missing for a long time. Prabhas carried the entire film on his shoulders with his one-man show. His comedic timing and the comedic dialogues delivered by him impress the audience. Furthermore, Prabhas delivered a solid performance, effectively portraying the emotions.
He particularly impressed with his peak performance in the scenes with his grandmother, especially in the climax. The three leading ladies, Nidhi Agerwal, Riddhi Kumar, and Malavika Mohanan, got decent screen time, and Prabhas’s romantic and fun tracks with them are moderately good.
Zarina Wahab, who played Prabhas’s grandmother, appeared in a good role and presented the required shades effectively.
Another important actor, Sanjay Dutt, delivered an interesting performance, showcasing his seniority and distinctive acting skills. Samuthirakani and Boman Irani also performed well in their supporting roles. All the other actors also performed well within the scope of their respective roles.
The second half of the film is somewhat better. It feels neat and engaging with comedic and horror visual elements. The climax portion also stands out as another big asset. The reason why Prabhas chose this film becomes clear in the pre-climax and climax parts. Not only in terms of acting, but also with grand visuals, a massive treat unfolds before our eyes, especially in the stunning climax. However, the biggest drawback of this film is undoubtedly Maruthi’s writing. While he handled comedy and horror elements well in his previous films, he directed the narrative weakly right from the first half of this movie. Many scenes in the first half feel forced and artificially inserted, giving the audience that impression.
Also, the process of gradually introducing us to Raja Saab’s world after a long time feels a bit laggy. It would have been better if these parts were designed to be more gripping from the beginning. While the core elements of the mind game become somewhat interesting by the climax, the preceding scenes make one wonder if all this fuss was necessary.
While the film contains the comedy and emotions that Darling fans expect, it seems to lack the proper elevation moments befitting his stature. It would have been better if Maruthi had balanced these aspects as well. Also, the sequence featuring Prabhas’s old look is completely absent, which will disappoint those who were looking forward to it, so it’s best to be prepared. Moreover, despite the huge budget allocated to this film, the visual effects appear mediocre in most parts, except for the climax.
The production values in this film are good. They have created a solid and grand setup with excellent production design. Furthermore, Maruti’s creativity is evident in the design of the ghosts and the interior of the Raja Saab’s house. While Thaman’s music is decent, the background score lacks clarity. Even when listened to on a good speaker setup, it sounds the same. Karthik Palani’s cinematography is good; he delivered excellent visuals. Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao’s editing could have been better.
Coming to director Maruti, he presented Prabhas well. However, in his attempt to showcase Prabhas prominently, he handled the rest of the narrative somewhat awkwardly. Fans might find it acceptable to some extent, but apart from the pre-climax and climax portions, the film doesn’t have many memorable elements. However, as he mentioned in a previous interview, his vision in presenting grand visuals in terms of art direction is excellent.
Overall, ‘The Raja Saab’ can be described as Prabhas’s one-man show. The Darling Prabhas, whom we’ve been missing for a long time, surprises with his comedy and emotional performances. He tried to save the film in this way. Also, the comedy scenes here and there, and the pre-climax and climax portions, along with their visuals, feel grand. However, the weak first half and the somewhat lagging narrative are the film’s weaknesses. So, it’s advisable to watch this film during this festive season with low expectations and a lot of patience.
This Is My Personal Review So Please Go and Watch The Movie In Theaters Only.
