The Srilankan origin of the lead characters is ignored once they reach India, reducing them to standard oppressed basti-walas. There's a glimmer of interest in the form of a vengeful step-brother who does all he can to poison the bond between the dowdy maa and adarsh beta, but the writing is flimsy and inconsistent, making the character a pompous buffoon. Most of the surrounding cast exists purely to marvel at how awesome Shivaji is. In the lead, Prabhas is Shivaji aka Chatrapathi, yet another messiah of the masses, ideal son to traditional mother (a dowdy Bhanupriya) and dashing lover to typical Telugu movie imported decorative heroine (Shriya Saran). I guess Chatrapathi came when SSR was still working out his own formula because it is as generic as it gets.
