Republic (2021) :
Brief Review -
A Powerful and Exposive Speech on System, Politics, Law & Justice and Administration Services with Poignant and Heartbreaking Climax. Republic is not that typical Telugu movie but yes it has few of those typical moments favoured for mass lovers. It's a very powerful film overall from critic's point of view and also very entertaining one from normal audience's point of view. When mass cinema meets a socially empowering content with classy features! That's all i can say about Republic. An IIT gold medalist gets pulled into the Indian Administrative Services, where he confronts the newly elected political establishment. He fights the corrupt system and awakens people and law & order but then what happens in the climax is truly surprising, heartbreaking, sharp and extremely relevant. The film shows the power of republic but at the same time it also tells us that how we people only are killing it. Democracy is a blessing as well as a curse and this film ends up with that immortal thought that will shatter your views about system and republic. It's not that hard-hitting and realistic, like recently we saw 'Jai Bhim' being Hard-hitting, rather it is action filled masala film with social message. There are few things in the film which looks completely unrealistic and filmy. Like, an IAS officer going on work in Casual clothes while his lower officers wear formal clothings. The heroic image of an UPSC topper, love angle and father's relationship feel dramatic too. The performances, direction and technical aspect are very supporting. Republic tests your knowledge about the intellectual cinema with that climax while rest of the time it is quite a massy and entertaining film. However, some speeches in the film will leave you speechless for sure. Overall, a fantastic attempt and damn effective too. You must give it a try for your own conscience and social awareness.
RATING - 7.5/10*
