EE Times Review
In our ETimes review, we say: “Director Harish Shankar opts for a familiar commercial template, where the hero’s sophistication 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 those moments.”
There are periods where his presence alone elevates the scene, reminding you why he continues to have such a strong following.
But in between these moments, the film struggles to maintain its footing.Our review adds: “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 practical than engaging.”
A few height blocks work, but not enough to fully sustain interest.”Disclaimer: Box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
