The film begins in 1987 when the crime rate in Uttar Pradesh peaks. The Agricultural Minister, Veerandranath Tagore, brings out a resolution to develop farming, as crime can be reduced by eradicating hunger. He gives a call for 500 farmers from Combined Andhra Pradesh led by the wise Seetaramaiah. The Government allocates them 5000 acres of land on lease for 30 years, thereafter, it will be their own.
The principal photography of the film started in July in Bangkok.[6][7] The second schedule was completed in Ramoji Film City in October 2019.[8][9] A melody Song is picturized on Balakrishna & Vedhika in November at Munnar.[10]
The film released on 20 December 2019.[11][12] The first look teaser on 21 November 2019 and trailer on 8 December 2019.[13][14] The first single song Adugadugo Action Hero is released on 1 December 2019.[15] Accordingly, the pre-release event held on 14 December 2019, at the MGM Grounds, VUDA Park, Visakhapatnam.[16]
Ruler received negative reviews from critics. Y. Sunita Chowdary of The Hindu stated that the film was purely for the fans. "Balakrishna fans will like him in any form and indeed made some effort to look different, gives Vedhika returns after a long time to perform in a better role. The hero gets elevated at each level and it becomes a tale of heroic exploits and nothing else," she added.[17] The Times of India critic Suhas Yellapantula gave 1.5/5 stars, and called it a "disappointing fare." He wrote: " A non-existent plot, poor characterization, and amateurish filmmaking ensures this film is a big miss.[18] 123telugu.com also gave the same rating and wrote: "The concept is old school and unnecessary scenes, the second half could be avoided totally. The director KS Ravikumar has been stuck in a time warp being unable to move on from his outdated concepts. Although Balayya impresses with his posh look, the angry cop look is very underwhelming with the horrible wig, which disappoints the general audience.[19] A reviewer from The Hans India affirmed that the film doesn't have a proper storyline, "Director KS Ravikumar used the same commercial formula for this movie and even the story and screenplay are also not that gripping," they wrote.[20]
We used "ensemble" NP-film plasmon ruler measurements to charaterize the NP-film ruler in what we call the "extreme sensitivy region" of the ruler, where the NP-film separation distance is < 2 nm. We found that in this extreme sensitivity region, the NP-film plasmon ruler is capable of discerning distances on the oder of atomic bond lenghts, producing a spectral shift of 5 nm for every 1 Angstrom change in NP-film separation distance.
The widespread use of plasmonic nanorulers (PNRs) in sensing platforms has been plagued by technical challenges associated with the development of methods to fabricate precisely controlled nanostructures with high yield and characterize them with high throughput. We have previously shown that creating PNRs in a nanoparticle-film (NP-film) format enables the fabrication of an extremely large population of uniform PNRs with 100% yield using a self-assembly approach, which facilitates high-throughput PNR characterization using ensemble spectroscopic measurements and eliminates the need for expensive microscopy systems required by many other PNR platforms. We expand upon this prior work herein, showing that the NP-film PNR can be made compatible with aqueous sensing studies by adapting it for use in a transmission localized surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy format, where the coupled NP-film resonance responsible for the PNR signal is directly probed using an extinction measurement from a standard spectrophotometer. We designed slide holders that fit inside standard spectrophotometer cuvettes and position NP-film samples so that the coupled NP-film resonance can be detected in a collinear optical configuration. Once the NP-film PNR samples are cuvette-compatible, it is straightforward to calibrate the PNR in aqueous solution and use it to characterize dynamic, angstrom-scale distance changes resulting from pH-induced swelling of polyelectrolyte (PE) spacer layers as thin as 1 PE layer and also of a self-assembled monolayer of an amine-terminated alkanethiol. This development is an important step toward making PNR sensors more user-friendly and encouraging their widespread use in various sensing schemes.

Duo Window Reading Rulers are divided into a narrow reading window and a wide reading window by an opaque strip. People who have difficulties keeping their focus on the line being read find this design useful. Focus can be further confined by taping paper over the wide transparent window a quarter of an inch below the opaque part of the ruler, so that all words except the present line are completely blocked.

Modern films about The Ruler deal with politicians, religious and business leaders. For example, The Social Network explores how Mark Zuckerberg became one of the most powerful business leaders of the day by founding Facebook.

Arjun Prasad (Balakrishna) is a famous IT magnet who is brought by Sarojini Prasad (Jayasudha). He decides to start a new branch for his prestigious company in the state of Uttar Pradesh. One fine day, he comes to know that his mother Sarojini Devi faces massive insult because of some evil politicians. To make things correct, Arjun Prasad comes to Uttar Pradesh but to his shock, everyone starts calling him Dharma, a ferocious cop. Who is this Dharma? What does he have to do with Arjun Prasad? and who is behind all this?. To know the answer, you need to watch the film on the big screen.
The concept is old school and so was the narration. There are way too many unnecessary scenes in the second half which could have been avoided totally. If Balayya impressed with his posh look, his get-up as the angry cop was horrible and disappoints the general audience. The comedy track in the film is pretty disappointing and so was the romantic track between Balayya and Vedhika.
The second half is where the film goes for a toss as things do not have much depth and clarity. The pre-climax of the film is pretty disappointing and goes on forever. There a number of scenes which are way too over cinematic and look silly. Care should have been taken to make this film more sensible.
Camerawork by Ram Prasad is superb and is one of the major highlights of the film. Balayya has been showcased well in the film and so were the rustic locations of Uttar Pradesh. Music by Chirantan Bhatt is just below par and some good music would have made matters better. Editing is below par as many cinematic scenes could have been chopped off right away. Production values by C Kalyan are top-notch.
Balayya has been designed quite well in his posh look whereas his wig and his designing for the cop look was worse. Coming to the director Ravi Kumar, he has done a very ordinary job in the film. For some reason, his emotions do not work well on the screen and bring the interest down for the audience making the second half dull and boring.
"In Italy there still is the tendency to think and say out loud that if you're black you can't be Italian. So, when I discovered the story of Alessandro de' Medici, I had to tell it," Di Cinto says in her crowdfunding appeal for financing the film.
Alessandro de' Medici's tomb, which lies in the New Sacristy in the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence, has no inscription or name visible. Di Cinto says that through the short film (which may be developed into a feature film or series), she hopes to reverse this erasure. "We want to remember this Afro-descendant character who was part of history. A duke, not a slave."
If not all countries together regulate against abuse; in today's dog-eat-dog capitalist system, the abuser and the abused will just move from country to country. Europe is a fantastic chance to deal with this problem, two of the continent's most prominent filmmakers, have said.
Balakrishna can do just about anything. He can jump down from choppers to rescue a lady from committing suicide or single-handedly beat up a train full of goons despite being stabbed multiple times. KS Ravikumar's Ruler follows the tried-and-tested template of a larger-than-life projection of Balakrishna but with a plot ridden with stereotypes and crass humour, the film only succeeds in frustrating the viewers.
The film begins with Sarojini Naidu (Jayasudha) who meets a wounded stranger, who had met with an accident and had suffered multiple stab wounds. The next minute, the two are in the ICU with Sarojini facing a serious threat to her life. But when someone attempts to kill her, the stranger miraculously wakes up from his coma and saves her. Sarojini is so grateful that she raises him as her own son and makes him the chairman of her group of companies. With his memory lost, he becomes Arjun Prasad (Nandamuri Balakrishna). He travels in choppers and romances Harika (Sonal Chauhan), the chairman of a rival company. His mother tries everything in her power to keep his past from him, but it’s only a matter of time before Arjun runs into his past again.
Aside from a stereotypical plot and crass humour, the biggest issue with Ruler is the sheer incoherence in the screenplay. At times, there's a jump from one scene to the next without any real logic. For instance, there's a scene where Balakrishna offers to befriend Sonal Chauhan putting an end to their farcical rivalry. As expected, a song follows. But what surprisingly, we see Vedhika shake a leg with Balakrishna, a character that hasn't been introduced in the film at all. At first, you'd think it's a mistake, but it seems that's the director's way of introducing this character. As viewers, you're left none the wiser. This is just one of many such incoherent moments in the screenplay. It seems like the film was wrapped up in a hurry and completely lacks finesse.
Nandamuri Balakrishna in his new look does himself no favours. He comes across as a guy who's trying too hard to look young and his romantic sequences with Sonal Chauhan and Vedhika (both in inconsequential roles) is cringe-worthy. The actor might want to reconsider not doing the same films he did 20 years ago, because the audience has changed and wants more than that.
Even if you're a fan of the brand of entertainment that one could expect from a Balakrishna film, Ruler can frustrate you as a viewer. With such lack of imagination and shoddy narration, the film leaves you with a migraine.
