Magadheera
❝These dark clouds are proud of taking your life. They don't know that you're the Sun; today, you may've gone down, but some day you'll come back, piercing the darkness to claim your love.❞

Magadheera is one of the best Rajamouli films, and a childhood favourite.

Only Rajamouli could come up with such a fantastic story. It has everything you would want from a film: comedy, romance, action, a little thrill and a great soundtrack. There's never a boring moment. I love the action sequences, especially the chariot race with Bhairava and Ranadev and the 100 soldiers fight. The CGI is a little janky, but it's to be expected from an early 2000s film, and it's offset by the otherwise beautiful visuals.

Ram Charan is perfectly cast for the role of Bhaitava/Harsha, and he is genuinely brilliant at using little mannerisms and expressions to portray feelings without dialogue. Kajal Aggarwal isn't my favourite actress as she can overact, but she was really good as Mithra/Indu, especially during the comedic scenes. Dev Gill's Ranadev/Raghuveer was terrifying to me as a child, and he remains a formidable antagonist who's so easy to hate.

All in all, I absolutely love Magadheera and I would definitely recommend it to people who want to watch more from Indian cinema or want to check out more of Rajamouli's work before RRR and Baahubali.

hey so first long review in a while but WHOAAA i spiritually needed this rewatch. firstly, the cgi sucks but i'd say it's lowk the only thing (other than that weird ram charan v chiranjeevi dance sequence thing) that really sucks. this movies DATED like you can very much tell this movie came out in the 2000s but i think i really love that about the first half of the movie. LOOOOVE the romance and i think ram charan and kajal aggarwal might be the most attractive pairing i’ve seen on tv EVER. ram charans hair in this movie set a precedent for the types of guys id be into as a fully grown woman (also i JUST found out that he was styled similar to srk in om shanti om which makes a lot of sense that movie runs in my veins). the soundtrack goes hard as FUCKKK, panchadaara went triple platinum in my house. this movie could easily be described as severely mediocre but i do NOT CARE this was so good and it made me feel such unbridled joy for the first time in a veryyyy long time!!

edit: i guess im not done talking about this movie because i cant stop thinking about it holy shit….????????$;$;&;& this such a fucking treat i cannot nothing will ever compare to that horseback chunni scene and NO couple in the history of television will ever top ram charan and kajal aggarwal in this movie oh my god. soundtrack has been on LOOOP in my house for the past week how do i get this movie out of my head
