Don't know where to really start from, this is an epic disappointment on all levels. And the fears really came true, the VFX is so poor that, you start to wonder if this is a beta version of a video game launched several years ago, it is that cartoonish and was an eyesore. Acting wise, none really standout, though the aggressive version of Lord Rama played into the strengths of Prabhas, he was just okayish, Kriti had just to smile and weep. Even with a caricaturish characterisation of Ravan, it was Saif who had put some genuine effort among all the cast and crew. Screenplay is so lazy, the dialogues at places are as cringeworthy as hell. Technically, for a 500Cr project, this has to be the biggest scam in Indian Cinema in the recent times, nothing much about cinematography, as the entire movie was shot indoor, editing is pathetic, action choreography was straight out of many Hollywood movies. Only saving grace is the songs of Ajay-Atul and the score of Sachet-Parampara, it really elevates the proceedings.
Coming to director Om Raut, for a man who directed two critically and commercially successful ventures like Lokmanya and Tanhaji, he perhaps overestimated himself and probably went overconfident in directing this, some of the creative choices like Ravan and Lanka design might not go well with the staunch followers of Hindusim, his version of creating a commercial Ramanaya is the worst decision.
Bottom-line: Wait for Salaar, stay away from this.
