Baradwaj Rangan watched #RaoBahadur and gave the review the following day because there was so much to process due to the links between the first half and the second half.
A true meaning of ABSOLUTE CINEMA
Rao Bahadur is such a big swing - atmospheric, visually inventive, nutty in a good way, overwhelming & exhausting. Director @mahaisnotanoun (Venkatesh Maha) & @ActorSatyaDev create a memorable portrait of entitlement, doubt, death, love. It requires patience but don't miss it.
There is a creative sequence in #RaoBahadur where the ancestors of the royal family of Bhuvanalayam try to instill some sense in the mind (literally) of Rao Bahadur.
The necessity of a progeny is depicted through a song called 'conditioning' & I was in awe of the magic
“I’m heavy BOB fan, heavy ante heavy. I believe by default we’re all PK fans, relating to his swag and style. But when it comes to movies, it’s @urstrulyMahesh. I believe #Khaleja is good film from day one” - @harshachemudu
Hence proved, #MaheshBabu is CINEMA🔥

Just watched #RaoBahadur after seeing all the rave reviews on social media…
Man, every single one of them was right.
Films like these don’t come often… and when they do, they stay with you for a long time.
I’ve been replaying so many scenes in my head since I walked out.
Please don’t miss this one in theatres… the music, the writing, the performances… everything deserves the big screen.
And @ActorSatyaDev… what a performer 🙏
What an experience !!
@mahaisnotanoun Maha pulls you into his distinctive cinematic world and makes you lose yourself in it
A beautiful blend of satire, psychological drama, magical realism and a thought provoking take on colour bias !!!
#raobahadur
My first priority of “goto” is #Khaleja which I like the character, songs like Bhoom shakenaka and acting of #MaheshBabu is a peak.., I don’t why it’s been not a BlockBuster at those days. It’s my all time favourite 💥
