    Probably the Worst Movie of Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan

    With Huge disappointment and pain i would say this is the worst movie of ram charan and chiranjeevi's career.

    Literally there is no story ,screenplay, and direction.

    To Top it all BGM hits the final nail in the coffin.

    Final Verdict : save your hard earned money .

    I would have given negative rating for this movie, but giving 1 star because of Ram charan.

    Not up to the mark..

    The story line was very old with slow narration and predictable scenes. No interesting scenes except few in second half with father & son together.

    Poor BGM and songs except Banjara.

    Chiru's dance at this age is appreciable. Ram charan is the only highlight of the movie.

    Overall movie is below average.

    It would be mega hit, if it is released 30 years before

    RATED 4/10 Language: Telugu Source: Amazon prime

    Lots and lots of negatives in the movie. The story is run of the mill one. The execution is older than the story. It would be mega hit, if it is released 30 years before. But now, all the scenes are forced for the duo. There is no mass moments in the screenplay, all the scenes fall very flat. It is OK to have logic less masala, but it is very flat and failed to impress except one or two scenes. And they already came i n promos.

    Easily forgettable one.

    Disappointed

    Time and money wasted. Very boring and headache 😪

    No character has importance and music is very disappointing background music is irritating. Don't waste your time and money.

    Padhagattam

    The story of this film is undeniably poor, with unconvincing characters that fail to engage the audience.

    The screenplay is extremely clumsy, unnecessarily lengthy, and thoroughly boring. Every aspect of the film feels forced, lacking organic development.

    Certain scenes featuring Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan come across as downright silly, further contributing to the irritating nature of the movie as a whole.

    Sonu Sood's talent is completely wasted in this film, and Pooja fails to fit into her role convincingly.

    Trisha's decision to reject the lead role proves to be a wise one.

    The only redeeming qualities in terms of music are the song "lahe lahe" and the background music.

    Cinematography is passable, while the sets appear rich but artificial, lacking a sense of authenticity.

    • Trivia
      Kajal Aggarwal was to play the female lead in the film, but her role was cut out during filming, leaving Pooja Hegde's separate character as the female lead. Originally Trisha Krishnan was cast in the role Aggarwal was to play. Writer/Director Koratala Siva explained his decision to cut the role as he felt the character wasn't developed enough and thus not worthy of someone of Aggarwal's stature.
