This movie feels like déjà vu with its overly simple storyline that brings nothing new to the table. We've definitely witnessed this plot somewhere before. The screenplay tries to be a trailblazer in Telugu cinema, but it's like trying to make a sandwich with just one slice of bread - not very satisfying. The first half-hour is a snoozefest, the last half-hour manages to redeem the film a bit, and the middle is just meh.
Venkatesh's character is like a well-cooked dish - written properly with a side of great looks and a dash of impressive performance.
Navazuddin as antagonist is the spice we needed; his performance is like a firecracker. Arya and Shradda are like those tasty appetizers you wish you had more of - limited screen space, but they deliver.
The child actor Baby Sara and the rest of the cast are like the supporting actors in a play - doing their job well without stealing the spotlight.
Cinematography and background score play nice, but the songs are like a bad karaoke night - better skipped. The action sequences are a rollercoaster of thrills, but it gets a tad too violent.
Sailesh's direction is a mixed bag - some scenes are like a chef's kiss, while others leave you wondering if they used salt.
Watching this in theaters might not be the best use of your time, but if you're patient, it could be an okay OTT watch.
