Rajadhani Files Movie Review: Poor Script Bad Writing
Movies about politics can take a stance. Any viewpoint on the film will find an audience. The TDP has been the target of films such as “Yatra,” “Lakshmi’s NTR,” “Ammarajyamlo Kadapa Biddulu,” and “Yatra-2.” These include the forthcoming films “Vyooham” and “Sapatham” as well. When the YCP was in control, it produced the film “Rajadhani Files” to criticise them. Individuals ought to be curious about its contents.
Villagers Vinod Kumar and Vani Vishwanath are landlords and residents of the area around Airavati (another name for Amaravati). Gautham, played by Pushparaj Akhilan, is their son. Being among other people has always been something Gautham disliked. The pain and suffering of others does not affect him in the slightest.
He goes back to the village after finishing school. Concurrently, the government of the Praja Kiranam party starts buying up land to build the capital. Because they are reluctant to part with the farmlands that have been in their families for so long, farmers continue to reject.
Every one of the farmers in the hamlet is sceptical at first, but after hearing the landlord’s explanation of why this sacrifice is necessary for the future, they all sign the papers cheerfully, relinquishing their fields in exchange.
Subsequently, the KRS party takes over the government. There are now four capitals of the state, not only Airavati, according to the new chief minister. The farmers take to the streets in protest.
After seeing the leaders of the ruling party strip his mother, Gautham becomes involved in the protest, even though he doesn’t initially feel much of a connection to it. The plot follows from there.
It didn’t sound like Mani Sharma was trying too hard. Many directors may have thought he was recycling music from his previous films because they didn’t approve of it. The item song in particular has terrible music.
Review of the Film:
The film’s opening credits state, “this film is not intended to hurt the feelings of anyone and the similarity to any character is a mere coincidence,” although it’s unclear how accurate that statement is.
Playing PUBG is a constant theme here for the Chief Minister. Next to the Chief Minister, there are three individuals. A strategist wearing a shawl and bespectacled is one of them.
Someone else is the one who used to sell guavas to become a member of parliament.
Thirdly, there’s the man with the white beard and waistcoat; he lied about his finances to the Chief Minister and then became an MP.
If the Chief Minister is indeed the film’s antagonist, the director has established that the three of them form a sinister quartet.
We see the white-bearded man in a murderous and rapistant light. One thing I will say—and it’s not a huge spoiler—is that at the end of the film, the chief minister takes out an axe on this white-bearded member of parliament, sending another leader to report that he has died of a heart attack.
It seems that the whole intention of this video is to bash someone, even if there’s no valid cause to do so. While the story hinges on the farmers’ indignation, the brutalities depicted fail to evoke the necessary level of impact to carry the plot.
Voters and everyone else in the film are decent guys, with the exception of one chief minister and his followers. Amazingly, on election day, voters would place the collected funds from politicians in a box outside the voting booths, demonstrating their high moral character. The Election Commission announces a sum of Rs 1 lakh crore after tallying the funds. This is before to the vote tallying. The hero gives a brief speech outlining its potential uses.
It reads, “After a few years.” after the movie ends. As he drives himself to despair, the current chief minister, who is losing power, frowns and glances towards Airavati, which is beyond Singapore’s range. He comes to a halt close to a pebble. He leans down and pats the name “Chief Minister Rambabu Naidu” on it, a sign of his sorrow.
The result is a nightmare for the audience, even though it is only the product of someone’s dream. Supporters think the director blew a golden opportunity by failing to present a compelling story with effect, while detractors find it disgusting.
Prepare to be let down if you are hoping for pyrotechnics or other forms of entertainment. The scenes in this are so unbelievable that not even the current opposition parties’ sympathisers believe them.
