Debutant director Santo attempts a new-age rom-com with Stand Up Rahul. You have the vulnerable male lead with issues that all boil down to everything he saw growing up. You have the dreamer female lead that has seen too many rom-coms like this one, and wants nothing but a passionate romance. And then you have the film itself – that veers between being feminist and regressive – that you don’t know where it lands by the end of it all.
Rahul (Raj Tarun) has parents who have split up. His father (Murli Sharma), a National Award winning penniless filmmaker, wants him to follow his passion for stand-up comedy but his mother (Indraja), an air-hostess, wants him to have a stable job and income so he doesn’t turn out like his father. Despite their insistence, Rahul is pretty clear on what he wants. He doesn’t want to marry; he wants to pursue stand-up comedy someday. It’s a whole different conversation if he’s actually good at it.
And then there’s Shreya Rao (Varsha Bollamma). It’s odd the director named this film Stand Up Rahul, instead of ‘Stand Up Rahul & Shreya’, because she sure has some things to sort out in life. She struggles with weight issues, struggles to fend off their creepy boss Satya Narayana (Vennela Kishore) – a Steve Jobs wannabe who keeps hitting on her, and her biggest issue in life – struggles to stand up to her father and tell him she doesn’t want to marry the man of his choice. Because what she wants is romance, passion and a man of her choice.
