the term masala film that i am guilty of using more that usual to refer to mass family entertainer films mostly coming from the southern film industry, is broad term encompassing films that tend to have various elements of Action Drama Comedy Romance Musical etc….
Race Gurram which is translated to Race Horse, is a Telugu Film that is such a prototypical Masala film that me even after watching am having difficulties write down an accurate synopsis. the films has a lot of stuff in it eccentric villains, brotherly conflict, comedic side characters, Love interest…. in jist the films about two polar opposite brothers uniting after long time due to common enemy.
the film was a hit when it was released, i can see why as its a crowd pleaser but not for me it could be today wasn’t a good day to watch a masala film like this. This film has no proper rhythm to its masalaness (if that’s a word) with the tone and genre shifting gears often, having stationary female characters. this is not a break the mold film in any regard yet the way the film feels just like any commercial film makes it very hard for me to say anything substantial about it. if there is one thing to wards the climax i was enjoying myself but it could be because i knew the film was ending.
would i recommend it NO, but unlike me if u come across it and watch it remember to switch off the brain
