SS Rajamouli on Dasara

SS Rajamouli, the creator of films like Bahubali and RRR, is often portrayed as a down-to-earth, humble and ordinary human being. Whenever you meet him, he is indeed, down-to-earth, humble and gentle. He has a shine in his eyes when he speaks about his works. It’s all true. However, he is not an ordinary human being. Whatever he does, takes off into the realm of hyperbolic proportions. For example, today (4 April 2023) he made a tweet, an “ordinary-looking, simple” tweet. SS Rajamouli’s tweet on the fourth of April has created such a storm on Twitter that it has become a testimony to the director’s influence among the audience. He tweeted:

Amidst the rugged landscape and raw characters, Srikanth Odela manages a tender heart touching lovestory. Career best performance by Nani. Keerthy cake walks through her role.

"DASARA" is a romantic drama that portrays the story of two people from diverse backgrounds who fall in love despite challenging circumstances. Directed by Srikanth Odela, the film has been receiving positive reviews from both critics and audiences, thereby making it a potential blockbuster success. Rajamouli’s interest in the film seems to be evident from his Tweet. And he has lauded the performance of the actors and the director, the film's exceptional storyline, remarkable cinematography, and outstanding performances by the lead cast, Nani and Keerthy Suresh. The Tweet has received 2.7 Million views, 38.3 likes, 130 bookmarks, 4,604 tweets, and 351 responses on Twitter itself. The responses to his tweet show fans divided on the matter of SS Rajamouli, the master craftsman himself, appreciating a film that is not made by himself. One of the comments is the following:

Hello sir.
It's so kind of u praising others movies but our feeling is it shouldn't be limited to some. #Balagam also performed exceedingly well. A small appreciation from a top director like u will lift their soul & inspire upcoming directors & heros.
With huge respect 🙏🏻

Another has said:

I think this is just a Formality tweet for encouragement. Movie got overhyped and huge collections due to Nani's rigorous promotion efforts. Dasara movie is just another mass film and not a must watch. Felt no connection and boring.

Trolls and memes abound on the comment of “cakewalk” made by Rajamouli on the performance by Keerthi Suresh. One of them even said this:

@ssrajamouli sir. The movie is not as expected. Specially the background music. Not sure if you have seen the full movie. ?
We love you so much and respect a lot 🙏. Please don't do this.

And some others, just like the writer of this piece, have no idea why everyone is using actor Allu Arjun’s meme while talking about the cakewalk!
