Major Telugu movie review - amazing except Prakash Raj
I watched the Telugu movie Major featuring Adivi Sesh in a lead role portraying one of India's heroes in the 26/11 Mumbai attack, Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan. The movie was overall amazing and everyone did a great job. I am sure both Adivi Sesh and Mahesh Babu made a lot of money on a martyr soldier's name which is ok, at least things like these are getting their due credit nowadays other than the junk and non sense that Tollywood used to make till recently.
The only issue I have with the whole movie is Prakash Raj. I know he did the role for money and I am pretty sure he made a lot of money but in real life, Prakash Raj is quite the opposite character. Prakash Raj is from that group which wants India destroyed and broken up into pieces, often known as the tukde tukde gang. This is the gang who mocks and make fun of the Indian army who sacrifice their lives for the people of India. So a character like that who mocks Indian Army, playing the role of the father of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan is a little unsettling for me.
Because of his political affiliations, I don't know if Prakash Raj did any justice to the role as he may have very well manipulated the narrative to fit his own interests.
The Telugu movie industry has cleaned up a little bit in the last decade but there are things like these that need to be further cleaned up to make it close to being acceptable.
