Mixed Reviews
The film has received mixed reactions from audiences and critics alike. Jr NTR gives a strong performance, but the writing by Koratala Siva does not fully explore Vara’s character. Some scenes, especially the "Ayudha Pooja" song, stand out, but Jr NTR’s role as the son feels a bit shallow.
Character Insights
Saif Ali Khan’s performance as Bhaira is good but lacks the depth needed to make him a memorable rival. Janhvi Kapoor's debut in Telugu doesn’t create the impact many were hoping for.
