What critics are saying
ETimes review for the film reads, “Director Harish Shankar opts for a familiar commercial template, where hero elevation takes precedence over narrative freshness. The film repeatedly sets up moments for Bhagat Singh to dominate the screen and to be fair, Pawan Kalyan delivers in those pockets. There are stretches where his presence alone lifts the scene, reminding you why he continues to command such a strong following. But between these moments, the film struggles to hold its ground.
The writing feels dated, relying on tropes that have long been overused. The first half moves along predictable lines, with comedy that doesn’t always land and sequences that feel more functional than engaging. A few elevation blocks work, but they are not enough to fully sustain interest.”Pawan Kalyan leads the cast in the titular role. Others include Sreeleela, Raashii Khanna, R. Parthiban, K. S. Ravikumar, Gautami, Nawab Shah, Rao Ramesh and Jayaprakash. Harish Shankar directs this action comedy.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
