Roberrt (2021)

The plot holes in Roberrt are breath-taking. The director greatly compromises the narration to favour the hero adulation in this yawn-inducing film. Roberrt is Tharun’s attempt to make his own Baashha, the Rajinikanth blockbuster that has been copied countless times since 1995, but in vain. It is high time that the filmmakers realise that the tried-and-tested template of Baashha itself is of no value without the impetus of human imagination.

The visuals are rich and the background score supports what is being shown on screen. There may be a song or two extra that could have been taken out to make the film tighter, but those can be overlooked as the film eventually entertains. Fans expected a festive spread from Roberrt and the film delivers that.
