The story of queen Rudhramadevi is a very interesting one. But still, how? And how could she not know that she is a girl till the age of 14? She has to look at the sculpture of a woman to discover that! Er… how? Yeah, she may be the super queen and all. For instance, in the climax, what seems like a 1,000 soldiers are surrounding Rudhramadevi and she fights them off. But the liberties, at many times, defy rules of logic and even biology. The film starts off with a disclaimer saying that liberties have been taken to enhance the film creatively through its screenplay. Rudhramadevi takes us into a period in history - aided by shoddy VFX, elaborate sets and a huge cast - but yet, as you walk out of the theatre, along with taking something new, you also walk out with an inkling of dissatisfaction. But one would say that the effort didn’t quite translate on to the screen. Gunasekhar called the film an ode to the erstwhile queen and he has spent years - 12 to be precise - working on it too. In fact, you are waiting for a moment where people will appreciate the queen they way they do for him!

It is tragic that in a film made about a warrior queen, a Robinhood-esque dacoit gets to mouth the better punch dialogues (everyone will remember his ‘gammunundavayya’ as they walk out of the cinema hall) besides coming across as more virtuous and judicious than the central character - Rudhramadevi. But looks like director Gunasekhar worked more on the brief but super impactful character Gona Ganna Reddy (Allu Arjun), who steals the show hands down.

Movie Review: In what is the first ever biopic - India’s first ever about Telangana’s celebrated queen Rudhramadevi (Anushka) it would be only natural to expect the protagonist to be the stand-out act. It traces her lifetime from her birth to her eventual victory over Yadava king Mahadeva. Synopsis: This is the biopic of erstwhile Kakatiya dynasty's ruler Rani Rudhramadevi.
