There are great beautiful moments in the film but the preachiness overpowered the story. RRC is an exceptional film of Hasith Goli hope he sticks to telling a proper story without being too preachy next time... All the best ❤

[@Gunvoak]

concept is sensible only but at the end movie becomes too preachy and boring, too many dialogues. The scenes b/w yayathi and his son are stunning, they r shown visually without too many dialogues, that is actually good and best part of the movie.The entire Meera Jasmine episode is also good, only thing is prechay narration in the climax killed the whole movie experience for me.Ante sundaraniki also had similar ending but the drama b/w naresh, rohini, nani, bamma characters and their terrific performances overshadowed the preachy part

Please Add English Subtitles so that other audience will understand. Big fan of Hasith Goli from Raja Raja Chora

Was waiting for a deep dive into this masterpiece, hasith goli is a great student of vivek atreya and ram venkat is a darling! So insightful interviews❤

Linga murthy song release cheyandi bro. That whole episode was very well written and executed. Movie baga nachindhi, but Singa character konchem laggy, and mathurswamyam nunchi pithruswamyam kuda konchem unconvincing ga anipichundhi. Bhavabhuthi dialogues chala places lo ah voice modulation valla ardham kaledhu. Overall point baga work ayindhi anipichindhi

[@svmanojvarma7602]

Excellent movie. I normally don't care about the money a movie makes. But I hope this movie makes money so that such attempts will be made in the future.
