Radhe Shyam Hindi Review: Only music and cinematography works in this boring love story
Radhe Shyam Hindi Movie Rating: 2 Stars
Just watched Radhe Shyam movie in Hindi on Netflix. So let’s focus on the complete details, story, positive/negatives and at last my personal view on this movie.
Cast: Prabhas, Pooka Hegde, Sachin Khedekar, Bhagyashree, Kunal Roy Kapur, Sathyan, Priyadarshi, Murli Sharma, Sasha Chettri and Riddhi Kumar
Director: Radha Krishna Kumar
Release Date: 11th March 2022 in Cinemas & Digital Premiere on 4th May on Netflix
Story: A set of scientists reach out to Guru Paramhansa (Satya Raj) who is running a Vedic school of sorts. There’s a visible conflict between him and one of the scientists who questions his deep belief and study in astrology and palmistry. The sequence introduces the audience to Vikram Aditya (Prabhas) who is called ‘India ke Nostradamus’ in the film, and whose predictions never go wrong.
fter informing the Indian Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi (Flora Jacob), that she’s going to declare Emergency, Vikramaditya goes to Europe on a prolonged trek, before coming to Rome to be with his mother Girija Rani (Bhagyashree) and best friend Vedant (Kunaal Roy Kapur). He doesn’t believe in love as he doesn’t have a love line in his hand.
So he hooks up with a lot of girls but a deeper commitment is beyond him. Prerana (Pooja Hegde) who is a doctor working with her uncle (Sachin Khedekar) in a high class hospital has a death wish of sorts in the sense that she tells strangers on trains to hold her as she leans out of open doors.
Once, she asks Aditya to help her out in the stunt and despite knowing that he can’t fall in love, he finds his heart beating for her. Prerna suffers from an incurable disease and doesn’t have long to live. But Aditya informs her that she’ll get cured and lead a long life. Her uncle is convinced Aditya is a fraud, till Aditya gives him proof of his prowess. Aditya leaves Prerana as he knows he doesn’t have a future with her.
Meanwhile, Prerna gets to know that Vikramaditya will not marry her because of the absence of a love line on his palm, and his firm belief in palmistry. His guru, Paramhansa tells him that no science is exact and astrology is also only 99 per cent accurate. And destiny can change if one puts in a big enough effort. How Aditya battles his destiny to win over his love forms the crux of the film.

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I watched the trailer of this film planned to watch this movie on digital premiere because trailer was just okay but due to music waited for this one.
Vikram Aditya is an extremely well-known palmist, despite trying hard not to, falls in love with Dr. Prerana. While he predicts a long and bright future for her, it seems like destiny has something else in the store, or does it?
The story attempts to drive home a point that no science is absolute and 100 percent accurate; and that there’s always a small but bright chance to change your destiny with karma. And this applies to even the world’s best palm-readers. However, in a run-time of about 140 minutes, which also seems tediously long, the core thought doesn’t reach its desired mark. Hence, the film fails to create the impact it could have with all the apparatus it had at its disposal, including well-known names in each technical department and a bunch of good artistes.
The film has been lavishly mounted and its visual splendour is a sight to behold. Kudos to cinematographer Manoj Paramahamsa for capturing Europe so enchantingly. And applause also should be directed towards the VFX team who have convincingly managed to recreate choppy seas and the spectacular overview of a ship slowly sinking. This grand sequence, which comes towards the end, truly elevates the film. The climax on board the ship and in the high seas also fails to evoke the emotions it should’ve. All in all, the emotional quotient of the love story is low. Comedy is also almost missing. Overall, film can be watched for its visuals and music. My view on this movie Time Pass.
