Description: The film “RX 100” (2018) is a dramatic story inspired by the real-life experiences of SIVA, set in the rural village of Atreyapuram, Andhra Pradesh, India. The protagonist, Shiva (played by Karthikeya), is a well-mannered and cultured young man raised by his father, Daddy (portrayed by Ramki). Shiva falls in love with Indu (played by Payal Rajput), the daughter of a local politician, who is portrayed as a self-centered and manipulative individual. Their relationship begins with passion and intimacy, but when they attempt to reveal their affair to their families, a shocking twist separates them.
Shiva is heartbroken when he believes that their elders have rejected his love for Indu. However, he later discovers that Indu never truly loved him; she merely used him to fulfill her desires for lust and physical gratification. The film explores how Shiva, an emotional and dedicated man who manages a movie theater with his father, fails to recognize the deceit in his real-life relationship. Indu’s predatory behavior and selfish actions leave Shiva disillusioned and emotionally shattered, ultimately leading to his tragic demise.
The movie offers a raw and unconventional narrative, deviating from traditional family-oriented themes. According to Ashok Reddy in an interview with The Times of India, the story stood out for its authenticity and regional flavor, capturing the attention of both the crew and audiences alike.
