Prabhas planned to pierce the hearts of all movie lovers with the period romantic entertainer Radhe Shyam. He decided to plug the loopholes of his action entertainer Saaho after the sensation he created with Baahubali. It is known that Saaho failed to connect chords with his fans down south and also many in the North but masses in B, C centers in the North loved the film and presented stardom to Prabhas.
Prabhas decided to turn loverboy to steal the hearts of all with Radhe Shyam and planned meticulously for Hindi and South versions. The makers used different sets of actors, music directors, etc for each version. However, none could save Radhe Shyam from growing in the tsunami. Radhe Shyam turned out to be a full circle and signaled Prabhas' fall from grace.
Right after the release of the trailer, many wrote the film off, especially in the North. They criticized Prabhas' looks, dialogue delivery, etc. throughout the film Prabhas looked out of shape and lethargic and seemed uninterested to do the film. Forget about his Hindi dialogue delivery which many felt that Prabhas was not even interested in opening his mouth for the fear of others laughing at him, even his Telugu dialogue delivery is not up to the mark. Many felt that as if Prabhas had two pegs before delivering dialogues. The less we talk about Prabhas' looks the better it is. When even a senior hero like Nagarjuna is sporting handsome and charming looks, Prabhas who is much younger disappointed with his look. No amount of graphics covered his looks. Prabhas is younger than Mahesh Babu, but he looked like his uncle.
Everyone tastes disasters but Radhe Shyam is Prabhas' own undoing. After Magadheera, Ram Charan tasted many flops, his Orange was a disaster but many praised his performance. Songs in Orange were chartbusters and Ram Charan attracted with his looks and dances. Radhe Shyam despite being a romantic entertainer did not have electrifying romance, exhilarating songs but only dragging, illogical family scenes. It has to be seen how Prabhas react to Radhe Shyam's result.
