  this movie is about trying to avoid getting chopped up by machetes as payment for past sins that were out of your control, and it is possibly the most delightful thing i have ever seen - rajamouli has an almost supernatural sense of how to manipulate your brain to be entertained on the deepest primal level

  Review by Michael James ★★★½ 1

  Taking a straightforward faction revenge story knot, SS Rajamouli packs it with solid layers and delivers a thoroughly entertaining action comedy, that’s loaded with enjoyable humor, thrills and suspense. Except for the underwhelming climax, the drama stays interesting for most of its run. Sunil and the entire cast, do justice to their roles. A fun watch.

  Some classic Hark-style high jinks. Rajamouli's craft is something else I tell you---his vision is so fresh. He has exactly the kind of adventurous mindset you need in order to remake a classic well. Also, this one has my favorite romance I've seen from him so far <3

  Review by Shea ★★★★½ 6

  A complete delight in just about every conceivable way. So much ingenious visual language here yielding some of the best laughs I've had in a long time, moments that caught me totally off guard and then others that you can see coming a mile off that are executed a hundred times more hilariously than you could have expected.

  Also structurally really fun and interesting?? Haven't seen Keaton's Our Hospitality so I'm not sure how similar this is, but the way Rajamouli establishes almost everything through fantastical comedy/romance that culminates largely in one location before the shift to the rest of the film, becoming more thrilling (and ridiculous) as it goes on, is marvellous in how well it works. Reminded me…

  Director Catalog: SS Rajamouli

  Has one of the most iconic scene in Telugu cinema! This was such a great entertainer. Loved it throughout. Sunil fits perfectly as the lead and no other A tier would fit in such a role.  Rajamouli Garu🫡 what a man. 

  PS end credits bloopers 😂 with the director himself was just cherry on top. Makes me wonder Cinema nowadays don’t have bloopers in the end credits anymore.

  DO NOT STEP OUT!

  Maryada Ramanna erzählt die simple Geschichte davon in einem fremden Haus gefangen zu sein und der Gefahr davon beim Verlassen von hunderten Macheten in kleine Stücke zerhackt zu werden.

  Wirklich dumm gelaufen für den Tollpatsch Ramu der eigentlich nur sein frisch geerbtes Stück Land verkaufen wollte und dabei im Haus der Familie landet die eine Blutfehde mit seinen Vorfahren haben für die er nichts kann aber jetzt dafür mit seinem Leben bezahlen soll. Gut nur das das streng gläubige Familienoberhaupt es unterbittet das in seinem Haus Blut vergossen wird. Somit wird die Türschwelle zu Schwelle des Tods, das Haus zu verlassen bedeutet das Ende für Ramu.

  Das dieses Simple Konzept aufgeht und immer wieder neue Überraschungen…

  Review by Lencho of the Apes ★★★½ 2

  Hallucinated slapstick -- it's a remake of Our Hospitality, faithful to Keaton's original gag constructions, in a CGI universe where 200-foot Hanuman statues can come to life during a dance number. Ridiculous, cartoonish fun that wouldn't be nearly as persuasive if the director didn't have such monumental chops; this gave me a kind of visual pleasure that I didn't even know existed, something like watching a virtual reality program designed for someone else to experience, without being able to enter into it directly.

  Review by Jord ★★★★★

  Every time I've watched a film by Rajamouli I've thought to myself "this is obviously the greatest film of all time" and "this is the most film of all time", and it's no different here. I can't get enough of the energy maintained through knowing that anything could happen (and that energy never wavers because it's backed up by a really well-written romance, a very funny script, and choreography so fluid, each bit of action and movement seamlessly follows from the last.)

  Entrances, exits and ricochets.

  Cinema is a matter of what's in the house and what's out. Plus a talking bicycle.
