Rao Bahadur review: A strange, stubborn film that asks what we inherit besides property | Movie-review News

Published by Parlour News

Rao Bahadur movie review: In a world obsessed with class, lineage and the pressure to produce an heir, what does it mean to simply live? To be happy, carefree, free of suspicion? That question is the foundation Venkatesh Maha’s Rao Bahadur is built on. What unfolds is a psychological drama with striking theatrics, interesting fourth-wall breaks, the kind of film that reminds you cinema can still be an art form. In the world of glitter and power, Ramappa Rao Bahadur, a descendant of a royal lineage lies on his deathbed. He is considered a medical miracle but suffers from severe psychological issues, and the audience initially has no idea what caused them. As the story unfolds, the central conflict turns out to be about a doubt that is troubling Rao Bahadur. It takes a while to settle into Ramappa’s world, his mansion Bhuvanalayam, the distinctive dialect and the film’s attempt at magical realism. The narrative feels slow and occasionally confusing in this stretch. However, Rao Bahadur is not about a royal family at all. At …
