The teaser of Prabhas and Malavika Mohanan starrer film 'The Raja Saab' was released recently, which was quite exciting. The film has been presented as a romantic-horror, but after watching the teaser, neither romance is felt nor is there a glimpse of horror.
This teaser of about 2 minutes 29 seconds looks completely scattered. Neither there is any clear direction of the story nor any depth in the characters. The VFX look like old-fashioned television serials and the dialogues are so weak that the audience is feeling cringe.
The humor used in the teaser seems cheap and stale, which does not leave any impact at any level. Some dialogues seem so misogynist and cliched that the audience may feel uncomfortable. Overall, the teaser fails completely to engage the audience. The audience was expecting a strong comeback from a big star like Prabhas, but this teaser does not live up to those expectations. After watching the teaser, disappointment can be clearly seen on social media as well.
If this is the tone of the film, then the makers need to rethink the promotional strategy. Otherwise, this film may prove to be another weak project for Prabhas.
