#RaoBahadur Review

This one tested my patience like anything. I know Maha’s style of filmmaking, so I kept waiting for the second half to surprise me or take the story somewhere interesting. It never happened. It felt like the same old template from start to finish, and by the end I was just wondering, what’s the point?

If someone says this is an art film, I have to disagree. It’s not an art film, it’s a tart film. It just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Maybe it’ll work for you, maybe it won’t. Go watch it and decide for yourself.

2/5

Hey @M9USA, @TV9Telugu

Please look into what happened at Buildathon Dallas.

Hundreds of students and professionals took leave from work, traveled long distances, booked hotels, and paid significant amounts to attend. I personally drove 4 hours, slept only 2 hours, and paid $300 for a VIP ticket based on the opportunities and recruiter connections promoted before the event.

The event was abruptly canceled after participants had already started working on problem statements. Many attendees were actively building projects despite issues with promo codes, cloud credits, and platform access. We were then suddenly asked to come downstairs for an announcement and informed that the event was over.

The organizers have announced refunds but have not provided a clear timeline. Attendees deserve transparency, accountability, and a specific refund date.

There are also growing concerns from attendees regarding comment moderation on social media, unanswered questions, and the gap between what was promoted and what was delivered. Additionally, many attendees were disturbed by statements and discussions that appeared to place responsibility on participants for the event’s failure. Paying attendees should not be blamed for organizational or infrastructure issues without clear evidence. Several community members have also raised concerns about divisive comments and rhetoric that have further damaged trust within the community.

This isn’t about attacking anyone. It’s about ensuring students and working professionals who invested their time, money, and trust receive answers, fair treatment, and the transparency they deserve.

If a reviewer sharing an honest opinion ends up here, that’s a bigger concern than any negative review. Criticism is not hate. Disagreement is not negativity.
Instead of targeting reviewers, focus on making better content. Audience can’t be asked to celebrate feedback only when it’s positive.

There’s a massive difference between a random person spreading unverified leaks to dilute hype and the film’s own writer discussing the story he created.
Calling a broad thematic conflict a “leak” is a stretch. If every comment from the writer is treated as a spoiler, then promotions, interviews, and press meets would all become leaks too.

రాజమౌళి ఎంతో secrecy maintain చేస్తున్నా… @VaranasiMovie నుంచి ఏమాత్రం సందర్భం లేకుండా స్వయంగా రాజమౌళి తండ్రే పెద్ద లీక్ ఇచ్చేశారు.

“రాముడికి, కుంభకర్ణుడికి యుద్ధం” అంటూ ఒక్క లైన్‌తో డిస్కషన్ స్టార్ట్ చేశారు.

ఇదే scoop ఏ మీడియా అయినా వేసి ఉంటే… ఇక్కడ moral lectures, ethics classes మామూలుగా ఉండేవి కావు.

#Peddi Final Report:

The first half is below par with very little impact. The biggest letdown is the BGM, which fails to elevate the hero introduction, fights, and key mass moments.

The second half starts strongly and gets straight into the core plot. It works in parts despite a few dips. Special mention to Ram Charan, who carries the film throughout with a solid performance.

The final dialogue, “Village sthayi ki velladam kaadhu, village sthayi ki edugudham,” is the film’s biggest takeaway and leaves a strong impact.

Overall,

⭐ 2.75/5

#Peddi First Half Report:

A below-par first half with virtually no impact until the pre-interval stretch. The biggest disappointment, however, is the background score. It fails to elevate the hero’s introduction, action blocks, and key mass moments, leaving several intended highs completely flat. A highly underwhelming first half overall.

Today at a #Drishyam3 screening, the full #Peddi trailer was played, not just a glimpse. Honestly, there was barely any excitement inside the theater. In fact, someone from the crowd literally said “malli $30 petti disappoint avvadam enduku, leave it.”

What was actually shocking was the response for #TheParadise glimpse. The screams and excitement felt far more organic.

This is exactly why content confidence matters more than aggressive pricing. Audience is clearly becoming more cautious now. Expecting good content from #TheParadise.

#Drishyam3 Final Review:

Slow-paced narration with solid story buildup and well-maintained suspense in the second half. Though you can predict some, The film keeps you invested, but the final twists don’t fully land the way you expect from a Drishyam climax. Leaves you wondering did Georgekutty really end the war, or is this just another pause before the next storm?

2.5/5

[The Review Reel @TheReviewReel]

#Drishyam3 First Half Report:

Slow burn so far. More focus on Georgekutty’s family life and the eveyday problems they face from villagers/people who know his case than actual thriller movement. Only a small “brick movement” moment right before interval hints at the bigger plot. Waiting for the second half payoff.

#Peddi USA premiere advance sales are at around $393K with 15 days still left, which is not disastrous by any means, but considering the scale, hype and post trailer expectations, the momentum still feels underwhelming. Pricing is clearly becoming a factor too. When tickets touch $25-$30, audience expects extremely strong content confidence, not just hype.

[The Review Reel @TheReviewReel]

Criticism of a film is fair. Trolling budgets, trailers, or creative choices is part of cinema discourse. But targeting someone’s appearance, language, or identity crosses the line completely.

Calling an actor “horrible” or using terms like “Lingu” says more about the person tweeting than the film itself. You can dislike a glimpse without reducing the conversation to insults and regional hate.

Cinema should create debates, not dehumanization.

And honestly, before mocking someone else’s looks, maybe invest in a mirror first. If buying one is difficult, drop your QR code people might donate. Fix your own face before obsessing over actors on screen. Asshole!!

Watched the #DragonGlimpse, Crazy how 4 minutes can build an entire world. The atmosphere, power dynamics, character aura, emotional weight, everything was established without overexplaining. That’s elite world-building. Felt like stepping into a universe that already existed long before the camera arrived.
Excited man!

#PeddiTrailer After watching the Peddi trailer, I’m keeping my expectations in the 2.25-2.5 range. Don’t want to walk into the theatre with an overhyped mindset.
I do feel there could be one emotional hurdle for Ram Charan’s character that last shot in the trailer saying “Peddi is back on his legs.” Let’s see if that emotion actually lands on screen. I’ll honestly be happy if the film exceeds my expectations. End of the day, I just want a good film and a solid theatrical experience. Looking forward to watching it on the big screen!
