Radhe Shyam Teaser: First Glimpse Of Prabhas- Pooja Hegde Starrer Is A Big Letdown
Prabhas’ fanatical fans are waiting for his next. Post Baahubali, his release Saaho was a hotchpotch of unintentional comedy  and feeble action. All hopes are now  pinned on Radhe  Shyam  which  promises  to have no  action. It promises  to be Prabhas’  first full-fledged  love story  , a tender period romance  spread out lavishly across  the 70mm screen.

The first teaser which was released for Valentine’s Day shows very little control over the narrative. It has Prabhas shouting out endearments in Italian across a railway platform swarming with girls dressed up in clothes that could belong to any era from Victorian England to the 1980s. Pooja Hedge emerges  from the  crowd dressed  completely in opposition to the mobs on the crowd. She then teases Prabhas by calling him Romeo.

“Chee, Romeo gave up his life for love. I am not that kind of a guy,” drawls Prabhas  trying hard to look as if he really cares.

 If not Romeo, just what kind of a guy he is, we have no clue. But I do hope the director Radha Krishna knows his Romeo and Juliet well. Every love story that has worked in cinema across the world has an element  of Shakespeare’s love tragedy in  it. Perhaps Prabhas wants to be different.

The teaser doesn’t offer much of what constitutes a passionate celluloid romance. It looks like  a pale imitation of the periodicity  created in  Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s 1942: A  Love Story. The chemistry between Prabhas and Pooja Hegde doesn’t appear to be that great either. However, this was just a short glimpse, and we’ll know more about the film once the trailer is out.

The teaser of the film released today, and the makers have announced that the film is all set to hit the silver screens on 30th July, 2021.
