Shyam Singha Roy is wonderful movie. Story, screenplay was excellent.second half is excellent and it took movie to new level.nani performance in both charecters is wonderful, and he gave his career best performance as shyam Singha Roy. Other lead charecters like Sai pallavi, Krithi Shetty,madonna Sebastian did well in their charecters. Sai pallavi dance was amazing. Camera working is good.overall shyam Singha Roy can stand as Nani's career best movie.

Director Rahul again brings a different and refreshing story and screenplay in front of us after his taxiwalla. His fairytale story blends with beautiful music of Mickey j meyer (underrated gem of Telugu industry), stunning visuals by cinematographer Sanu John Varghese and power pack performances of Nani and sai pallavi to turn into a classic .the other star cast (krthi,abhinav,madona,rahul,murali sharma and everyone else ) too perform their part exceedingly well.

This probably has to be Nani and sai Pallavi's best work till date .

The cinematographer has just done a beautiful beautiful job , I was just mesmerized by the visuals .

A must watch ..

"GOD AND HIS PROSTITUTES" Never had such an Adrenaline Rush Before!!!

An Epic Visual Treat & Greatest Story Telling in recent times One And Only Best STAR HERO film in Nani's entire... Dialogues and Background score constantly engages audience and drives us crazy with those emotionally gripping visuals.!!

Nani and Sai Pallavi, their pair is the Biggest Assert of the film. The way movie was Developed and Presented is just Fantabulous and gonna be one of the Greatest Experiences in Lifetime!!

The film has decent first half with few turns and great pre-interval sequence, and outstanding second half, still wanted more of it.!!

It's recommended for everyone, watch it right away definitely worth your time.

Overall it's a great watch: 4/5.

After soo long, this is the movie which gave me full satisfaction.

After tuck jagadish I was really disappointed with Nani, but what a comeback man. He proved why he is called a natural star. And let's not even talk about Sai Pallavi. She has nailed with her expressions.

This movie covers all aspects.

Comedy ✅ Romance ✅ Story ✅ Revolution ✅ Power of books ✅ Breaking Religious Superstitions ✅ Empowering Women ✅

Still lot more to cover but I'm not able to put it in the words here.

Actors, director, story writer, camera men, all staff, Thank you soo much for this movie.

Nani! What an Actor woh! Extraordinary Comeback film by nani... This is what we Expect from him. Gorgeous Saipallavi with nice acting skill, Good Music & Fine Understandable Direction&Screenplay makes interesting to this Film. A Good Telugu Film released after Typical same roasted movies. Finally a must watch film.

Direction, Story, Cinematography- Amazing Cast in this movie is excellent.

Each and every one are in the movie for a reason.

This movie speaks about many things in a great way. And the minute detailing is top notch.

Just Nani's one man showw he lived in shyam singha roy role especially Sai pallavi dance major highlight of this movie over all it's a massage oriented movie with comercial elements.

Does anyone in the film industry understand the difference between criminal and civil law? No, Mr Sankrityan, you cannot just be put in jail because some company thinks you infringed on a copyright. Only a duly appointed prosecutor can do that.

Speaking of copyright, is there any chance that this violates "Om Shanti Om"'s copyright?

If the convo is in Bengali, some subtitles in English/Telugu couldn't hurt.

Excellent Movie. Everybody acted well in the movie. BGM in the movie was so good. The movie was so interesting and thrilling. The movie was not at all boring. Excellent Movie.

Amazing Telugu cinema creation.. very cinematic and mind blowing music as well. Good plot but when thinking at the end, feel that got the end wrong... how ever must watch.

Awsome movie.

Nani is always rocks though named as a natural star a simple man with a natural acting love u Nani ❤ as I saw ur all movies and this movie is also rocked well hope ur one of the best and Sai Pallavi mam is also a best actress as they started his currier from Malayalam malare I love all of her movies Great actress she is😍

Nice movie..more than its story plot, i was excited to see the brilliant and classic execution of the film. Each and every frame is captured in our heart. The basic plot of the movie lies on a never relatable superstition and even shown that the law approves it. So what to do is to take it as just a fantasy and not more than that. But making wise the movie is very much satisfying. The makers have given extra care in it's technicality. Saipallavis performance is just amazing... She has carried the character very reasonably. And Nani has played Shyam singha roy very well. His easiness in portraying sucha a powerful character is notable. In total, movie is a visual treat, even if the story plot s not wholly acceptable. Also in certain instances they could have shown care to avoid some clichés existing since a long time. Overall I liked it. Worth watch!!!

Best movie of 2021. Best screenplay after Sagarasangamam. The movie especially second half is visual poetry. Hats off to producer, director, cinemetography, editing, music, lyrics, singers and all the crew members. Outstanding story telling. Nani should feel proud of himself as producer and actor. Sai pallavi as always brilliant. Sankarabharanam, sagara sangamam and now Shyam Singha roy. Such movies happen once a decade.

Great production design.!. Quite a unique film.

Choreography and it's importance to this film, overall completeness gives a great feel to this movie.

Production quality, color grading, background score, song music, all are well done!

The cast are lucky to be a part of this unusual script and a treat, delight to watch...

Perfect screenplay and seamless story telling

every character / artist played excellent roles... certainly lead actors who grabbed more screen space have done 100% justice...

all kudos to director, story writer and music too.....

a MUST MUST WATCH....

RATED 8/10 Language: Telugu Source: Netflix RECOMMENDED

The synopsis looks very normal and run off the mill story, but the execution makes the hole different.... Its pure entertainer with mass moments.... First half story flow is average and decent, the second half is extraordinary and gives huge impact to the story....the devadasi scenes and the dialogs are pure art and classic...The dialogs are sharp and elevates the second half very much... At last Nani and Sai Pallavi shines out everyone... Worth the watch.

First half went breeze and suddenly a biggggg slowdown in 2nd . Soru is good but dragged so much . Wish couldn't have been more like rang de :)! We still loved Nani . Liked his character overall Zz and directors vision z.

Simply a classic! Was totally floored by the nani, sai pallavi and Madonna Sebastian roles. 😊and Mickey j Meyer scored a classic sound track especially the hindolam raga based pranavalaya.. Song sung by anurag kulkarni. A national award winning worthy score, I even have a premonition of the movie winning many national awards next year for the costumes music and performance of nani. Totally enjoyed it.

Nani , who let us down with his past 2 movies , now roared.

Nani as Shyam Singh Roy rocked the screen.

The cinematography is simply classic.

The cinematography is in such a way that each montage could be a Wallpaper.

Shyam Singh Roy (2021) : Brief Review -

A wanna be sensation surrendered to its desperate Telugu mass zone and super fictional predictability. Shyam Singh Roy is based on a reincarnation topic that we all judge as a myth, but the film proves it logically and lawfully right. However, one must understand that it all goes ostensibly fine, not theoretically. Moreover, its hardcore predictability kills the entire thought process. Vasu, an aspiring filmmaker and writer wants to film a short film and requests a stranger girl to be his heroine. You don't even have to predict that somehow the girl agrees and they fall in love. Come on, dear writers, get over this mediocrity at once. So, the next moment he has a big feature film in his hands and expectedly, it's a blockbuster success. Now here we have a turning point of reincarnation, personality disorder, psychological treatment and findings which takes us back to his previous life in 1969. Here, the film goes completely massy. Shyam Singh Roy is writer cum social worker cum messiah for needy ones cum hardcore macho hero. He fights just like you see any macho hero fight in masala film, rather he's quite dashing. One thing I didn't get here was whether the writer was really showing the Bengal of the 1970s. I mean that untouchability issue or Devadasi abrogation was way too old. If I remember well, it was Raja Rammohan Roy who was fighting for it way back in time. The kind of modern, corporated Kolkata Satyajit Ray has shown in his films in the early 70s was not found here. Wasn't it a big loop hole? Anyway, the rest of the story is as predictable as any typical family drama you have been seeing since the 50s. Nani is outstanding as Shyam Singh Roy, but his portrayal of Vasu is no match to it. Sai dances well and Krithi looks gorgeous, that's all. Rahul Sankrityan should have given it a little more thought, an intelligent one i guess, and it would have been a sensational flick. A good attempt though and one time watchable.

RATING - 6/10*

By - #samthebestest.

It's a full packed entertainer with Nani Excellent acting and Sai Pallavi Dance. Story line went very well with different concept.

Overall, it's the best of 2021.

A different concept but somehow predictable Nani performed really well throughout the whole film.

A basic music in all telugu movies.

Sai Pallavi and Krithi also performed well Overall one time watchable entertainer.

6/10.

It's alright. Nothing worth close to three hours. If they made a movie based on second half alone it'd have been a better movie. Especially since there's no revenge story.

It's a movie of many themes where none of them come to a logical conclusion. The hero is fighting against cast system at one point but it's not entirely about that. He's fighting for woman's rights for a while but that theme doesn't go anywhere.

He randomly writes a short story about some girl I stead of the themes already at play.

It's stupid all around.

Sets, cinematography are fantastic all around.

To cap it off with that stupid cringe fest climax. No thank you. Watch in ott. Or don't This movie doesn't matter.

Sai pallavi is magic. Wholeheartly carried the 2nd half single handedly. Music score is nice. Nani performance as SSR is new and energetic and especially that temple fight scene is lit.

Fantastic performances of each and every artist in the movie. The way of telling the story itself is the most interesting part with drifting music. Must watch this soulful and engaging poetic saga.
