Magadheera FINALLY came in the mail this week. This has been a months long odyssey trying to get this on Blu-ray.
It was SO worth the wait!! I'm glad I've seen some other Telugu films because now I know that Magadheera is like a bridge film between Rajamouli's earlier films and Baahubali. It has the modern day elements, comedy uncle bits, and item numbers, but then also has the sweeping historical reincarnation parts.
Ram Charan is the lead, and he doesn't have Prabhas' expressiveness or charisma, but oh my goodness is he an exceptional dancer.
Look at this segment from the first big number. He dances on one leg for what feels like forever. Maybe it was creative editing, but wow.
Kajal Agarwal is Indu and she's great in the modern parts -- she's done multiple rom coms with Prabhas, too. I love her.
But the real star is Rajamouli's imagination. Wow. My mouth was hanging open at the visuals at several places.
Even in this same modern dance number from above, he has the bosom bump of the girl turn all the guys to stone.
This number from the historical part had my mouth hanging on the floor. It's sort of her love fantasy. Dheera means warrior -- and Magadheera is magnificent warrior.
Ram Charan is good in the action parts, and he can ride a horse like nobody's business. (I looked him up on Wikipedia and he's a big polo player!) At one point he realizes he's the reincarnation of this famous warrior after he touches the heroine's hand through a bus window. He remembers all, and then grabs a police horse and races after the bus. It's incredible.
There's a few plot holes, but the villain is unbelievably evil, the romance is cute AND epic in the historic parts. It's just all swoonworthy.
I bow down to Rajamouli's brilliance. So glad I own this one.
