Prabhas Rebel movie Good and Bad points

Plus Points :

Prabhas looks very macho and quite handsome throughout the movie. He has shown quite a number of variations in this movie – a timid son, a soft lover and a violent gangster. He has done a good job and fans will love him in the film. Rebel Star Krishnam Raju has played a crucial role in the film and he is good as the powerful Don Bhupathi.

Tamanna is ultra glamorous in this movie and she has once again showcased her terrific dancing skills. Her dance in the song ‘Google Search’ is a major treat for movie lovers. Deeksha Seth has a very minor role in the movie. But she has done justice to her part. Songs have been shot well and Lawrence has showcased Prabhas and Tamanna very beautifully.


Pradeep Rawat and Mukesh Rushi are alright. Brahmanandam has one or two good moments, but disappoints (more on that later).
The film picks up tremendous pace about 15 minutes before the interval and Prabhas’s heroism is at peak levels here. This is without a doubt a highlight part of the film. There are a few good fights in the second half that will appeal to mass movie lovers.

Minus Points :

Director Lawrence should have taken better care with screenplay and script. He has carried over many points from his earlier films like Don, Mass and Kanchana. Stylish villains carrying western names, Russian female fighters attacking the hero in climax fight, a shrieking heroine challenging the villain about her lover’s ‘magathanam’ etc…And the fight where villains come cross dressed as ladies in Sarees (ala Kanchana). We have all seen these before.

Kovai Sarala in a swimsuit is not something I will forget in a while. Her track with Brahmanandam is bad and poorly written. Ali is wasted in a bad role. Brahmanandam was not utilized well. He had a few good moments with Prabhas, but once Kovai Sarala comes in, his track becomes irritating.
The emotional intensity and pace shown in the pre-interval episode could not be replicated anywhere else in the film. Some scenes should have been chopped off, especially in the second half. At 2 hrs 50 minutes plus, the movie is a tad too long.

Climax fight fizzles out and does not make an impact. There are quite a number of bloopers and loopholes, like a car carrying Andhra Pradesh registration plates in Bangkok.
