It’s a Telugu-Hindi bilingual film and the story follows Hari, played by Adivi Sesh, who lands in prison after his love story with Sarah, played by Mrunal Thakur, ends in heartbreak and betrayal. What starts as a personal revenge tale slowly turns into a larger crime drama filled with robberies and fights against a corrupt system.
Well, audience reactions after the first-day shows have been quite mixed. Many viewers liked the energetic first half and praised the strong chemistry between the lead pair and the interval twist. The background music and stylish action sequences also received good compliments.
The second half received mixed feedback. Some fans called it an edge-of-the-seat thriller with good drama and a satisfying climax. They appreciated how the film handled the love story with action elements. Others felt the pacing slowed down, with predictable twists and a few storyline gaps that made it less gripping.
Adivi Sesh’s performance got a lot of love from the audience. Viewers said he delivered with his usual intensity and screen presence. Mrunal Thakur also impressed many with her emotional depth and strong screen time.
Technical aspects like cinematography, sound mixing, and visuals received praises and the background score helped elevate several scenes. However, some felt the action scenes became repetitive and the screenplay had loopholes that affected the overall flow.
