Please Wake-up NTR

[Vihari_Krishna · 4/10 · 21 September 2014]

Story - Is there a story ?? I wonder !! Pretty Routine..

Performances - NTR has nothing to do. Even his strengths, like dances, are also not well utilized. He is okay. Samantha and Pranitha have no significant roles. They're adequate. Brahmanandam is nicely utilized. But again, it is a routine role for him. Others are okay.

Music - Music by Thaman is not nice. Only one song, sung by NTR, is good on ears. Background score is poor.

Other Departments - Art work, Cinematography are nice. Editing is okay.

Story, Screenplay, Dialogues & Direction - Story is full of clichés. It is an extremely routine plot. Screenplay and treatment given are poor. Director made a mess in second half. He unnecessarily made it complex there. Direction is partly good.

Final Piece - Story is a routine revenge drama. Screenplay is a mess. Comedy is only partly successful. NTR has not been well utilized. I wanted Santosh Srinivas to taste huge success with this film, from the moment he told what happened to him and how NTR supported him, in the audio function. But, a director who comes out of that situation would strike back with a powerful script. But Santosh has chosen a weak one. He couldn't come up with an engaging screenplay either and NTR's poor show at the box-office continues. Watch it if you don't mind clichéd scripts.

ignore this Rabhasa

[rakeshq3 · 5/10 · 10 September 2014]

Jr.ntr,one of the best actors at present in tfi,is worst at choosing the scripts.this movie,rabhasa ,does not offer anything new for the audience.the only thing which you will like in this movie is comedy sequences involving brahmi.ntr does his part in acting,dance-etc.the fight sequences are horrible.thaman offers some passable tracks,but disappoints you with his bgm,and the sentimental scenes were not executed well,Samantha,as usual did well.comedy sequences are the only plus points for this movie.watch this movie only if you are a great fan of ntr.ignore this movie if you are not his fan.finally,if you have decided to watch this film,watch it with no expectations.or else you will leave the theatre in the interval itself

worth watching!!

The movie has the same theme like other Telugu action movies. NTR's action is very nice, direction is good, Samantha best fits her role. Bramahanandam Ji "ur the best" his role will bring charm in the audience which the film fails to bring in the first half. The second half of the film will make the film a super hit. The songs in the film are good and the dance by NTR is as expected very nice but Not much expected duologue's are in the script. The story is very nice but doesn't look like a different one. It can easily be expected what happens in the next part of the story. Overall it will be a super hit for NTR fans and for others it is one time watchable.

Movie is as expected with disappointment

[raghamani2003 · 2/10 · 30 August 2014]

Movie is below average. Headache old routine story. Not able to use the comedians in full level. 1st half is confusing 2nd half is less confusing and a bit better. One of the heroine's character ended abruptly. Screenplay is not good. Better to watch once for the fans. For others, its better not to waste money and watch it on television channels when it gets displayed. What Is Good? Jr NTR & Brahmanandam Comedy. What Is Bad? Fights, Graphics, Editing, Bad Screenplay, Predictable Narration of the next scene, Routine Story, No full length comedy. My overall rating to this movie as an NTR Fan is 2.5/5. Rabhasa collections were not affected till the future films release, like Ravi Teja's Power, Mahesh's Aaagadu, Ram Charan's Govindhudu Andarivaadele

Do not waste your time on this nonsense

[TheOneWhoAbides · 1/10 · 2 September 2014]

First thing is first, this is one of those routine usual mindless idiotic movies you can find. Words can't describe how annoying this film is. A routine story, clichés throughout, good for nothing female leads, gravity defying fight sequences, absolutely insane songs, soulless dialogues, obnoxious camera work and terrible writing all together make this film. The villains are so furious and scary at parts and literally act like clowns at parts and in addition to all this nonsense you have an inserted comedy track which looks so awful. The scary and frightening villains who are possessed to kill the hero from the beginning of the film change their minds and become good at heart just because of a mere speech about how good the hero is. A countless number of characters are thrown in which are absolutely useless and contribute nothing to the story. I have countless other reasons to justify how bad the film is. To put them all into a single sentence 'this is a paisa vasool mindless telugu movie', so you can't really expect anything good from the movie. Stay away from this junk and save your valuable time.

please don't watch

[naaadesam · 1/10 · 26 September 2014]

For you future interest on telugu films please don't watch it.

No more words

But this review page needs 10 lines so i just want to warn you guys

Its just like a strange feeling not to go near telugu films.

Iam fan of nobody. I watch movies for just relaxation.

But this one blowed my mind.

Horrible sounds, unnecessary over actions and additional dialogues.

We like hero kicking goons...but not like he doesn't even get a small sweat drop from his body.

Telugu industry is telling there are no stories to make movies. But how come other southern states are experimenting new type of movies?

Is the fans are not ready to receive or the heroes are facing ego issues??

No matter what, they wont try new type of stories like tamil or malayalam guys do, but need full set of heroism to satisfy their egoism......

English Subtitles Very Poor

[ThousandsOfFilms · 3/10 · 10 July 2020]

If you need English subtitles to follow the script, be forewarned that they were written by somebody who knew very little English - they may have gotten worse in the 2nd half of the movie. I was just able to get the gist of the 1st half, but 2nd half was very confusing. NTR and Samantha were very good performers. Lots of fight scenes where hero beats up a dozen or more attackers simultaneously - some good scenes, some where blow clearly misses but sends someone flying.

Best way to blow your Mind

[ggod-98955 · 1/10 · 6 March 2016]

First of all, I want to make it clear that I used to be a big fan of NTR until he used to make movies like Adhurs and Brindaavanam and I still gave him a chance after the disappointing Baadshah and Ramayya Vastavayya, but this one is seriously frustrating.

The director had no plot in his mind, he just wanted to project the hero as a larger than life as most of the films these days do. He just created a couple of scenes in which the hero is projected as 'God' for all the 'divine' stuff he does(like sacrificing his love, forgiving others, trying to patch up a family for no reason,etc.)and then combined them all with a senseless screenplay. The screenplay doesn't any sense at all. And the fights are hilarious. I think NTR is trying to beat Balayya in this department(and he is successful I must say!)

The way the story progresses is truly hilarious. And look at the coincidences in the movie: The guy who the heroine calls randomly to save a couple(and that guy can be anywhere in the whole country, but he is just few kilometers away from her!!! wow) - is the same guy who happens to be her cousin - the same guy who comes to cast cheap tricks to impress her(and the way he confuses with someone else instead of her is something you should not miss). The way the heroine is convinced that the guy who saved the couple is also praise-worthy. The villains are eager to kill their own brother-in- law but the hero who is a stranger to that family is vying to save him!!!!

Acting: NTR is as usual good but gets nothing new to do in this stale script. Samantha is okay. Nassar, Jayaprakash and Jayasudha are plain mediocres who are palying their routine characters once again. Rest all: ajay, brahmanandam, ali, shinde and others are only overacting.

Verdict: One of the worst films ever made in Tollywood. I hope NTR becomes carefull while choosing 'masala' scripts from next time because even balayya and kalyanram are these days coming up with watchable stuff.

Rabhasa..... Hmmmm nice movie

One For The History Books!

[TharsheyN · 8/10 · 19 October 2022]

Rabhasa has one of the silliest, like seriously silly, yet best storylines I've come across in a while. The overarching story is actually really good, Two cousins promised to one another in marriage but separated at a young age trying to find each other. The issue is neither knows what the other looks like in the present, combined with a few more twists makes things truly chaotic. Which leads to the first of many misunderstandings in this film, this is where the film loses 2 stars for me. There is misunderstanding after misunderstanding and after a bit it just gets a bit ridiculous and tiring. That being said Karthik manipulating the situation is really funny, though a bit tiring after a bit. I wish he would just tell his cousin that he is the one who saved her friend, as she is in love with another guy who she believes is the one who saved her friend.

Anyway long story short I am happy that in the end Karthik and his cousin Indu end up together. It took a while and had a absolute ton of misunderstandings and plot twists along the way, but in the end it all worked out for the best. The truth was finally set free by none other then Indu's own father, who didn't want her marry Karthik. Yet rather then everything coming crashing down on Karthik, it all ends up working out just perfectly, as Indu now knows that the boy she loved for saving her friend is none other then her cousin Karthik whom she has loved and wanted to marry all her life. Indu's father couldn't have helped Karthik's case out more if he wanted. In the end Karthik gets to marry Indu and all his former enemies now consider him an honorary son, his parents are there to see their son and niece tie the knot which they'd promised Indu's mother before she died, and everyone lives happily ever after.

In terms of acting what can I say that everyone doesn't already know. NTR Jr. Who plays Karthik is absolutely fantastic as usual, His fight scenes are as over the top as they always are but by god do we like to see it happen, plus the man can dance! Samantha Ruth Prabhu who plays Indu is absolutely gorgeous and steals every scene she is in with her to die for looks and beauty. She portrays her character wonderfully and brings Indu to life on screen as a strong young woman.

The songs and dances are all really enjoyable as well, so nothing negative to say there. Especially with NTR Jr. And Samantha wowing the audience with their amazing dance moves and on-screen chemistry.

All in all Rabhasa is a film with plot twists around every corner, misunderstandings around every other corner and finally the love of Indu and Karthik to tie it all together in the end. A well deserved 8/10 from me! Though boy did I get some grey hairs wondering what the heck would end up happening at some points in the film. Luckily I wasn't disappointed.
