Rajubhai

Rajubhai to start with is a misnomer. Raju is no bhai in any sense. Rajubhai is yet another remake from Tamil movie Chithiram Pesuthadi. I couldnt understand the reason behind making this movie and more so in taking this movie from the tamil movie. I was wondering why one should watch this movie. We would have seen say 100 such movies. The story is that of an old movie. The pace at which the movie progresses bores the audience. There is no comedy (I am least bothered whether it is a parallel track or goes with the story/theme of the movie). Hero and Heroine are bad in looks as well, leave alone the performances. There is not even a single good performance in the movie. The love track between the hero and the heroine is not properly established. The reason hero's mother puts hero out of house is illogical. The only thing saving disgrace is the ok music. But that does not make one watch the movie. You can as well catch it on FM or TV trailers.

Director Suryakiran (whose only name to fame is Satyam) must have thought that a great climax is enough for the audience to watch the movie. He is wrong in 2 ways. One, audience will not stay for 2 hrs 25 mins to see 5 mins of entertainment. The other, it is a very bad climax where the so-called secret is revealed. Manoj Kumar lost quite a few kilos and looks watchable now. He has long way to go to even get compared to his dad, Mohan Babu. The heroine is a new one and I guess would most likely be a one movie wonder like many others.

I started liking Munna after watching this movie. Atleast music was good. Then there was Ileana and Prabhas. I would rather watch Munna a few more times than watch a movie like Rajubhai again.

Rajubhai is a strict NO-NO even for category A viewers. If you are someone like me who wouldnt go by any reviews or opinions or others, go ahead and watch the movie at your own risk.
