Romance is in the air of Europe, they say. This film enhances that. Set in 1970s Europe, this dramatic romance brings to you gorgeous cinematography and indescribable feels.
This Indian period romantic drama has been shot in Telugu and Hindi simultaneously and brings out all the beautiful, messy contours of love mixed in with science fiction. Originally planned to release on 30 July 2021, an unexpected wave of Covid-19 pushed it up to later. Sad as that is, this is the kind of movie worth waiting for.
So, here it is- everything you need to know about this masterpiece.
About Radhe Shyam, the Movie
Writer and director Radha Krishna Kumar brings forward a unique, unseen mix of drama, romance, and science fiction. The movie Radhe Shyam stars Prabhas, predominantly working in Telugu cinema, his worldwide claim to fame being the Bahubali duology. The other central role is taken by Pooja Hegde, who has starred in multiple successful movies herself, such as Mukunda and Maharshi.
Prabhas plays the role of Palmist Vikramaditya, a brilliant one at that. He knows it all and refuses to tell. Contrastingly, Pooja Hegde plays Prerana, a doctor.
It is believed that their union will bring nothing but destruction to the world. The movie is about the clashing of love and destiny, and it really makes you wonder who will win.
To enhance the already present colors of love, drama, and a bit of fantasy, there’s speculation that there might, in fact, be a connection of this movie’s storyline with real life.
Lyricist Krishna Kanth partially revealed that on writing all 5 songs of the movie, he discovered and solved the mystery that is held in Radhe Shyam. He said that the very complicated song Ee Raathle was complex and chaotic and messy but when viewed in the movie, this song would take part as a holistic explanation of the movie.
Radhe Shyam Release Date
The movie was, under normal circumstances, all set for release on 30 July 2021. Sadly, the covid 19 wave pushed that wave to July 14, 2022, the festival of kites. Yet came another variant of the coronavirus, Omicron, and the movie release has now been postponed indefinitely.
The makers of Radhe Shyam sent in notification via Twitter, stating “We have to postpone the release of our film #RadheShyam due to the ongoing covid situation. Our sincere thanks to all the fans for your unconditional love and support. We will see you in cinemas soon..! #RadheShyamPostponed.”
Where and When was the Movie Shot?
The movie’s principle photography began on 6 October 2018. Radhe Shyam is set amongst the scenic beauty of Hyderabad, Georgia, and Italy, and we can guarantee you that it will make your jaw drop. Radhe Shyam is truly a sight for sore eyes.
