SS Rajamouli is a sureshot Blockbuster director. He is known for making larger than life films that have the potential to influence a large set of global audiences. Bad reviews plagued the documentary film as soon as it was released on Netflix India. The cruel response came from the Telugu speaking regions as the people were terribly disappointed by the bad dubbing. Of course, people are very aware of the voices of the original actors and it is really difficult for them to tolerate any random voice that just did the assigned task of dubbing instead of giving them the feel of what needs to be done.
Even the editing and content part was nothing less than a total fiasco for the audience.
Regardless, the media including us has pointed out the flaws. Let’s get straight to the views.
What is the reception of the “Modern Masters: SS Rajamouli” documentary on Netflix?
Well, this is a strange case. We can hardly remember any other title which was ignored on this massive scale before.
Forget the international audiences, even the Indians did not watch it. The documentary film was not even listed in the Top 10 India list. This is highly highly unusual for any kind of title.
This is a tough lesson for the makers of this documentary. Moreover, it’s an unwanted break in an illuminating streak of Netflix India’s documentaries.
No one could imagine that a flagship documentary on SS Rajamouli wouldn’t even get into the top 10 most watched films in India in its debut week.
The magnitude of this disaster is comparable to the magnitude of blockbusters which Rajamouli is famous for.
