Chatrapathi movie review: This ultra-loud, crass film belongs in the 80s – The Indian Express
My ears are nonetheless hurting, a number of hours of watching Chatrapathi, an ultra-loud remake of the SS Rajamouli-Prabhas movie of the identical title, which could possibly be straight out of the templated potboilers of the 70s and 80s. It has a ‘dukhiyari maa’, a great son who will do something for his mom, a foul son who can’t stand the truth that his mom loves his ‘bada bhaiyya’ as a lot she does, and the type of villains who demand utter subservience from their serfs: yeh zindagi tumhari nahin, hamaari hai, they thunder, and the listeners cower and shiver, and turn into slaves for the remainder of their lives.
Having bought that out of the best way, all I can say is that beginner Bellamkonda Sai Srivinas, in his Hindi movie debut, does an environment friendly job of being a muscular saviour of the meek. He huffs and puffs, cleaves and chops, fists flying, legs scything, and stays the final man standing.
As a younger boy, separated from his household, always aching for the mom (Bhagyashree) who thinks he perished in a fireplace, Shivaji is the traditional Indian hero whose mother-worship is all the time going to be far more intense than his emotions for the heroine. Nushrratt Bharuccha comes on for just a few talking scenes and a few songs during which she moves-and-shakes, as a result of that’s all she has to do: deliver up the rear.
Elsewhere, Karan Singh Chabra, enjoying the jealous youthful brother, narrows his eyes at any time when he will get the prospect. Which is so much. There are additionally a number of set-pieces during which Shivaji, now anointed Chatrapathi, single-handedly offers with a posse of baddies: these motion sequences, during which Srinivas will get his personal shirt-off-show-oiled-six-packs second, are the clearly the central focus of this movie.

In the meantime, there’s a younger woman who’s molested in a bus, by a man who throws pink ink on the again of her skirt. Crassness is an enormous a part of how ladies are depicted: the digicam friends down Bharuccha’s cleavage at any time when it will get an opportunity, not simply when she is on the dance-floor, but additionally when she is in a automobile, being chased by goons. Flung neck down, out of open door? Digicam leering, proper on high. Ugh.
