I walked in with high expectations. I mean, we all know what Shankar is capable of-Oke Okkadu, Aparichithudu, Gentleman, Bharateeyudu (the first one). And after Rangasthalam, I genuinely started expecting great performances from Ram Charan.

But this? This was just disappointing.

The screenplay was a mess. No one had proper character establishment. Every scene felt disconnected, like pieces of a puzzle that didn't fit. I didn't smile when Sunil appeared, didn't feel like dancing when a song started, and worst of all, I didn't even feel that burning urge to see the villain go down. They tried to serve up some kichidi-throwing a bunch of good actors into a 90s storyline, letting it sit for years, and what we got was just... awful.

If you're a Ram Charan fan, do yourself a favor and rewatch Rangasthalam. If you're here for Shankar garu, go back and watch Aparichithudu.

What's going to be even more frustrating is when these actors and producers come out celebrating a "massive success," rubbing it in your face-like you mean nothing!

By the end of the movie, I was so frustrated with how much time and energy I wasted on this. I literally walked out thinking, "Dhop!"

Had mad respect for Trivikram garu for a long time. I think his best movies were Athadu and Khaleja. And that's it! All the movies he has been doing including this one is simply killing his time and making money. I am not sure if he spent as much of his intellect as he did with writings for Manmadudu and Nuvvu Naku Nachav.

I would rather watch those movies again rather than sit through AVPL or Aravinda Sametha or this movie. He has been making making a constant mockery of himself and of people who believe in his intelligent writing. Oh well, at least we did think so. Do yourself a favor and stay out of this one stay back home watch Manmadhudu for another joyful time.

This gave me the same exact feeling as Maharshi. That I wasted my time. The same tux, the same chopper scenes, the same CEO/Chairman drama. Why do movie makers always think that board of directors are scum? Not sure where they get their information from.

And I think I forgot to tell you how fake everything looks. The songs, the dialogues, oh the fake house. Everything. Watching Srikanth garu get reduced to what he has in the movie is painful. Why not spend a little more time in writing something more original?

I am not a fan of Rashmika. I don't think I can dig her vibe. But that said, I felt bad for her as well. I mean, you would never even notice that a lead actress is present in the movie.
