Rudra

My expectations for "Rudra" were, unfortunately, not met. This film largely falls flat, making one wonder about the creative decisions behind it. The attempt to craft an Assamese spy thriller feels incredibly misguided and, ultimately, fails to deliver.

Rabi Sharma's portrayal, particularly with the beard, unfortunately veers into caricature rather than embodying a convincing espionage figure. The terrorist storyline is, without a doubt, the weakest element of the movie, lacking any genuine tension or credibility. This kind of filmmaking risks alienating audiences who are looking for quality regional cinema.

The first half is particularly challenging to sit through, struggling with pacing and plot development. The only saving grace, and a stark contrast to the rest of the film, is the segment depicting the village story. During this period, the movie finds some semblance of warmth and genuine connection, and both Rabi Sharma and the lead actress shine in these more grounded roles.

It's clear that the Assamese film industry has a significant need for strong screenplay writers and competent directors. Without fresh perspectives and skilled storytelling, the industry risks another significant setback. "Rudra" serves as a disappointing example of what happens when ambition isn't matched by execution.

Cinematography and action sequences - top notch work, no doubt about that. Ravi da has done a commendable job, as expected. But sadly, a renowned actor like Adil Hussain failed to leave an impact on the audience, his performance felt mostly disconnected. Expected more from him actually.

And the biggest letdown was the storyline, the plot doesn't really make any sense. With a little bit of coherence and depth in the story, It had the opportunity to be one of the greatest modern Assamese film in this era. Unfortunately, it falls short of that mark, a missed opportunity I would say.

Overall a very good effort as an Assamese film.

Rudra: The Edge of Darkness is an intense, cerebral crime drama that marks Ajay Devgn's powerful digital debut. An official adaptation of the acclaimed British series Luther, this Hindi reimagining stays largely faithful to the gritty tone of the original while bringing its own uniquely Indian flavor.

Ajay Devgn plays DCP Rudraveer "Rudra" Singh, a brilliant but emotionally haunted cop who's as obsessed with justice as he is disconnected from his personal life. His methods are unorthodox, his moral compass skewed, and his inner demons run deep. Devgn inhabits the role with quiet menace and vulnerability, a portrayal that grows more nuanced with each episode.

AFTER RAGHUPATI RAVI SARMA IS BACK WITH RUDRA WHICH IS MUCH BIGGER IN SCOPE AND SCALE ALSO THE NARRATIVE IT TACKLES SOME IMPORTANT THEMES OF NORTHEAST REGION WHILE MAKING SURE ITS ENTERTAINING WHILE THERE ARE SOME LOOPHOLES BUT THE SECOND HALF IS MUCH BETTER AND IT EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER RIDE EDITING COULD'VE BEEN BETTER BUT OVERALL MUCH WATCH' HOPEFULLY IT BREAKS ALL RECORDS.

DIRECTOR ROOPAK GOGOI DOES BRILL JOB SHOOTI THE ACTION SCENES AND ALSO SOME CREATIVE CHOICE OF USING AI BUT SOME SCENES COULD'VE BEEN BETTER AND NARRATIVE FIRST HALL IS CONFUSING BUT THE SECOND HALF CATCHES UP AND DELIVERS WHAT IS INTENDED ENTERTAINMENT.

Yes definitely absolutely you should watch this. Unbiasedly saying this because as an Assamese film it's has grown too good. Feels like South movie but action thriller perfection. You'll never feel bored watching this movie at all. So at last I would say that this movie is an absolute banger you can watch with your family.

Action: Perfect For an Assamese film Thriller: Perfect Story:Based on defence against terrorism perfectly defined Sequel: Perfect Script:Perfect Absolute ART Final Rating: 10/10 Should support Assamese film......... Should You watch this with your family: Yes You can this an family packed action thriller flim.
