RISE ROAR REVOLT
The latest Bollywood mega-hit reimagines Indian revolutionary history as a warm-hearted, earth-shaking action epic.
At the height of British oppression in 1920, fearless revolutionary Komaram Bheem journeys to Delhi in disguise when one of his tribe’s children is shanghaied there. Soon tracking him down, the state sends ruthless policeman A. Rama Raju to bring him in - but a growing friendship between them, and Rama’s own bitter history with colonialism, complicates this, forcing them both to a decisive and explosive reckoning.
Known for bombastic high-fantasy, writer-director S. S. Rajamouli takes the stories of genuine national heroes and moulds them into myth: charismatic performances with fantastic chemistry, a cavalcade of extravagant action sequences, and a palpable love for India and its heroes make for a spectacular, full-blooded historical romance that is far from parochial in its appeal.
