Rudhramadevi,
the
dream
project
of
director
Gunasekhar
has
finally
released
today
after
a
great
struggle
and
devotion.
Though
the
reviews
were
are
not
so
encouraging,
we
think
it
is
definitely
not
a
bad
film.
Firstly,
the
story
of
the
film
has
come
as
a
harsh
reality
which
is
difficult
to
digest
and
accept
that
it
has
happened
in
the
history.
A
girl
being
brought
up
as
a
man,
getting
married
to
another
girl
is
a
hard
subject
to
convince
the
audience.
But
once
you
believe
the
plot,
the
film
might
appeal
better
to
you.
Secondly,
the
songs
and
the
back
ground
music
did
not
do
any
good
to
the
film,
which
are
in
fact
key
for
a
historic
film
to
create
that
emotional
connect.
Gunasekhar
narrates
the
film
so
plain
and
missed
on
the
cinematic
highs
audience
expect.
Apparently,
the
liberties
he
has
taken
were
stock
and
hence
did
not
help
him
win
the
attention
of
the
viewers.
The
director
should
have
concentrated
on
narrating
the
story
from
the
perspective
of
highlighting
the
lead
role,
instead
of
placing
a
leg
on
every
boat.
Read
a
detailed
analysis
of
positives
and
negatives
of
Rudhramadevi
in
the
slides
below.
Rudhramadevi
Anushka
not
only
played
a
warrior
queen
but
has
indeed
fought
with
the
notions
we
have
developed
that
woman
are
supposed
to
sing
and
dance.
She
stuns
you
with
her
acting
prowess,
glamour
and
the
royalty
all
in
one
film.
We
just
cant
imagine
the
film
Rudhramadevi
if
it's
not
Anushka.
Allu
Arjun
Did
they
say
he
plays
a
cameo?
Oh
bad!
He
steals
the
show
and
remains
as
the
highlight
of
the
film.
We
are
not
sure
if
you
take
back
home
the
history
of
Kakatiya
and
bravery
of
Rudhramadevi,
but
you
will
surely
remember
Gona
Ganna
Reddy
leaving
the
theaters.
Rana
Daggubati
Rana
Daggubati
felt
wasted
and
we
he
was
underplayed
to
highlight
Anushka
and
Allu
Arjun.
Helpless
It
is
sad
that
Rudhramadevi
was
portrayed
as
a
helpless
woman
most
of
the
times.
She
lends
the
support
of
Gona
Ganna
Reddy,
Chalukya
Veerabadhra
to
face
the
threats
while
it
is
Shiva
Devayya
who
acts
as
her
brain.
Warrior
Queen?!
We
did
not
get
to
see.
Allu
Arjun
Allu
Arjun's
star
status
and
screen
presence
has
helped
the
film
but
we
doubt
if
the
same
star
status
has
killed
the
warrior
in
Rudhramadevi.
The
climax
dialogue
where
he
says
he
has
left
Mahadeva
Nayakudu
only
because
he
wants
Rudhramadevi
to
kill
him
and
prove
her
bravery,
appears
to
have
included
to
satisfy
his
star
image.
Glamour
Can
we
not
include
sexuality
and
make
a
honest
film
on
a
warrior
queen?
Thank
god
they
have
edited
out
the
item
song
of
Hamsa
Nandini.
Casting
We
find
many
artists
out
of
place
though
we
do
not
want
to
name
them
considering
their
legendary
career
or
seniority.
Prakash
Raj
The
actor
once
again
proved
what
a
great
talent
he
is.
His
dialogues,
diction
and
presence
added
a
boost
to
the
film.
Chiranjeevi
Last
but
not
the
least
Chiranjeevi's
voice
over
surely
fills
the
spirit.
