Just watched Rao Bahadur - Its a gem of a movie.

I just watched Rao Bahadur movie and I loved it!

I understand that the movie is not for everyone and everyone have specific things they like and every art has specific group that it appeals to. But

, oh boy, I loved this movie.

5 minutes in, I am glued to the seat. I thi k the first half is way more appealing that the later half. Cant help but notice Wes Anderson-esque frames, but still uniquely fresh with, what I think, intentional subtle asymmetry and slightly off-center frames. I loved the "conditioning" song, its placement and its message.

Second half and the climax was a bit disappointing, it felt like director had to make a choice between keeping the narration open ended (for audience to infer and interpret) vs making the movie a social satire (the later won) and in the process second half felt different making the film as a whole a bit incoherent.

It neverthless a great movie, for me. This will be the first movie that I will watch second time in theatres after bahubali!
