Plot summary: A renowned palmist meets a woman and falls for her.
Directed by K.K. Radhakrishna Kumar. Starring Prabhas, Pooja Hegde, and Bhagyashree Patwardhan.
Radhe Shyam is a Bollywood film about a palm-reader and a doctor who have a fling and start to develop deeper feelings for each other. The palm-reader has never once been wrong in his predictions, though, and reading his own palm shows no love line, meaning he will never be able to love the doctor the way she loves him, so he decides to give her up. The songs in this one are pretty mediocre, but the chemistry between the two leads totally works for me. I really enjoy seeing their light flirtations develop into something more, and I found myself rooting hard for them and hoping things would work out. In Bollywood style, the plot twists and development are pretty melodramatic and over-the-top, meaning the moments of breaking into song don't push the suspension of disbelief much further. The only thing that doesn't work for me here is the music, which is mostly forgettable and not nearly as fun as I wanted it to be. If you enjoy the genre, it's worth checking out!
