The Rajasaab
Prabhas supernatural comedy that runs three hours with uneven tone and pacing
The brief
Despite its promising supernatural premise, The Rajasaab becomes an endurance test at over three hours, with Maruthi Dasari stretching thin comedy beats until they snap. Prabhas seems oddly detached from the haunted mansion chaos swirling around him, while Sanjay Dutt chews scenery like he's making up for everyone else's underacting. The film can't decide if it wants to be a family-friendly ghost story or broad slapstick, resulting in tonal whiplash that kills both the scares and the laughs. This one's for die-hard Prabhas completists who don't mind sitting through Bollywood's answer to a three-hour haunted house ride that forgot to be fun.
The verdict
If you're a devoted Prabhas fan with serious patience for overlong comedies and don't mind tonal inconsistency, this supernatural romp offers three hours of your favorite star in haunted mansion hijinks. If you value tight pacing, coherent tone, or effective scares and laughs, skip this bloated ghost story that can't figure out what it wants to be.
