‘Chatrapathi’ movie review: V.V. Vinayak, Bellamkonda Sreenivas deliver a stale remake of S.S. Rajamouli’s raging hit – The Hindu
Generally, whereas cleansing up the cabinets, we come throughout previous pictures or paperwork which remind us of our flaws and leaves us with an uneasy feeling. Watching Chatrapthi leaves one with the identical emotion in regards to the masala fare that we as soon as consumed with out burning the palate.
A remake of the Telugu hit starring Prabhas, Chatrapathi helps us put into perspective what cinematic contraption the crew of S.S. Rajamouli and V.Vijayendra Prasad dished out lengthy earlier than Baahubali occurred.
Within the movie business, as soon as a filmmaker begins ruling the field workplace, producers take out even his previous works and take a look at resell it to the gullible viewers. So, even when Chatrapathi’s Hindi dub is well out there on the Web, the makers have roped in director V.V. Vinayak to remake the 2005 movie in 2023. The time lag exhibits on display and the product feels dated. Curiously, with no re-imagination at play, the remake appears like a dubbed model.
Chatrapathi
A Nirupa Roy-kind of mom, a selfless brother doting over his crafty step-sibling, the ache of migrants…. there’s a lot within the unique that may generate a melodramatic swell, however the facile therapy of the topic leaves us dry. There may be a number of sound and fury and the violence will get hideous, however the motion choreography lacks the emotional hook to maintain us invested.
When not focussing on biceps and snarling faces, the digicam retains looking for the cleavage. It’s a type of movie the place each emotion is an ‘merchandise’ and one can simply predict the loop of motion, dialogue and music sequence.
Telugu actor Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas lacks the charismatic display presence of Prabhas to make us neglect the gaps in display writing and root for Shiva’s rise towards odds. He growls properly however that’s about it. The spunky Nushrratt Bharuccha has been roped in for 3 songs and maybe two-and-a-half scenes. Equally, Sharad Kelkar because the villain deserved extra space and surroundings to chew. Bhagyashri hardly appears the half because the hapless mom and makes us cringe along with her incapacity to see the apparent.
Watch it solely if you wish to return in time to seek out the trash we left behind.
