With the season studded with fantasy and period films, Rudramadevi starring Anushka Shetty, Rana Daggubati and Allu Arjun in lead roles. The film is directed and produced by Gunasekhar with musical score by Maestro Ilayaraja and art by Thotta Tharani.

Born in the Kakatiya dynasty, Rudrama is a princess born in the family, but due to some circumstances and to avoid the confrontations from the neighbouring territories, the elders designate her as boy naming her as Rudradeva. After many years, in spite of knowing about her identity as a girl Rudrama manages to maintain the secrecy. But sooner, the identity is revealed and yet facing all the hurdles, the film speaks about the tale of the striving queen to save her kingdom.

In accordance to the nativity, we have a depth of history owing to different regions and Rudramadevi as the name suggests has been one of the most prominent rulers.. Although the drama here is fictional events, the director has implemented an interesting plot of women empowerment. Storytelling is an integral part of Indian culture, especially when it comes to period genre, it enhances more fascination, when we read in our academic history syllabus. The storytelling is quite impressive, but the way, it is narrated on the screens seems to be losing the momentum. When we speak about a film with female protagonist, the characters offending her antagonists should be someone like herculean devils, but they look like a model. Technically, the CG works are appreciable, but it could have been intensely pushed to the next level to have an international standards. In fact, having seen a movie like Baahubali coming from the same industry, it turns out to be a mediocre on comparison. Musical score by Ilayaraja is appreciable; especially his background score, but the songs don’t get a proper placement. In some places, there is no proper synch between the visuals, situations and music. The art work by Thotta Tharani is commendable.

Anushka has strained me a lot over this film and it is quite evident that But when it comes to Suman and Aditya are seen as goofy characters. Allu Arjun with his mannerisms and body language has his portions well executed. But his moments are like parallel events, where sometimes we feel he is purposely injected into the movie to enhance the sequences. Rana Daggubati gets his role to perfection… Prakash Raj as counselor is okay. Nithya Menen albeit her minima; portion does justice to her role and Catherine Tresa is seen as Allu’s pair, but with her glittery skimpy costumes…

On the whole, Rudramadevi holds some prominence for its grandeur and some good performances. If it was done with a good top-notch technical aspects and an engaging screenplay, the film would have been better.

Maddy’s comeback movie directed by Sudha Kongara. A sports movie in which madhavan plays the role of a boxing trainer and the new face Ritika as a boxer. Lets see how it different from regular sports movie.

One line
Story of an aspiring boxer to win a womens world championship along with a boxing coach and the struggle she come across in reaching the goal.

Plot – a bit more
Sports and politics are inseparable and we used to see in all sports movies where this is not an exception. Frame a story from these words Boxing, Training, Struggle, Coach, Women, Politics, Association, Championship and it will be right what you imagined, a common tale of every sports movie.

Performance
Bold comeback for maddy and his gigantic gesture suits to the core where his powerful performance lift the movie to a greater heights. His facial expressions speaks a lot and at the climax, a minute of speech-less performance stands out. Ritika Singh equally well to maddy and cant believe this is her debut acting. Training and boxing sequences are realistic for a women to do and she excels, also the transformation from a naughty girl to a responsible boxer are visible. Mumtaz Sorcar another new face done her pretty decent acting. Nassar, Radha ravi, Zakir, Kaali venkat did their job what is needed in their short role.

Making
Length of the movie is a major plus and editing is sharp enough where no dull moments throughout. Santhosh music maintain the phase of the movie in training and boxing sessions by his terrific background score where songs Ey Sandakaara and Vaa Machane are peppy tracks which are scene oriented visuals as needed by the movie. Cinematography brings a new color to each frame and gives a energetic feel while seeing. Final ring shots are captured well, that make audience glue to the seat.

Approach
As movie is crisp, it enters the main plot in real quick and straight to the training sessions. Though we are familiar about movies of athlete-coach combo sports movies, this one differs from the tratment and the approach towards the theme are well-made. Subplots of relationships boxer-sister, trainer-coach are portrayed well with little detailing of establishments from the beginning. At one point, when boxer asks his coach of what you want, he says a one word, knock-out, from there film takes the top speed and stop only at the climax. Dialogues are quirky as well as sharp penned by arun matheshwaran.

In a Nutshell
In short, finest making, powerful performance, brilliant casting, racy screenplay, gripping backgroud score, engaging crispy plot, good cinematography altogether a true inspirational movie for women’s boxing career. Last 20 mins you cant close your eyes and last 50 secs you cant blink your eyes. one last punch, one last trick, one last knockout, one last tribute, IrudhiSuttru.
