EETimes Verdict
The film also received encouraging reviews. ETimes praised Samantha’s portrayal and wrote, “Samantha anchors the film with confidence and conviction. She moves comfortably between quieter emotional scenes and physically demanding action blocks, never allowing Swarna to become a one-note action heroine.”
There is solidity in the performance, but there is also fatigue, fear and weakness. These shades make the character more compelling than the invincible heroes we often see in the genre.
“Our exclusive review also appreciated the supporting cast, saying: ** “Gulshan Devaiah proves to be an affecting character, bringing unpredictability to his role rather than opting for overt theatrics. Diganth Manchale, Gautami and Sreemukhi all contribute meaningfully to the family dynamics that form the emotional backbone of the story.”Disclaimer: Box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
