  • Honest Opinion.

    Except for a few tiny, almost negligible details, this film has absolutely nothing new to offer. It's an outdated, overused plot dragged out as if it's some groundbreaking idea. The screenplay moves at a painfully slow pace-dragging, lagging, testing your patience at every step. A couple of scenes are just about okay; the rest feel like amateur writing exercises.

    Character development is practically nonexistent. Apart from the antagonist, every character is flat, underwritten, and uninteresting. You don't connect with them, mostly because the film itself doesn't bother to flesh them out.

    Production quality is decent, no complaints there. But direction? That's the real mystery. It genuinely feels like there was no director-just a script, some investment, a set of actors, a cinematographer, and somehow a film got made. I honestly don't understand how this project even materialized. What exactly excited the makers? What were they banking on-nostalgia, luck, or blind optimism?

    The music is equally uninspired and does nothing to lift the experience.

    Final verdict: not worth watching in any format. Save your time, money, and sanity.

  • Boya is a Genre

    I honestly walked into this film expecting peak nonsense - the kind of illogical, silly, over-the-top cringe that at least gives you unintentional comedy. But no. Boyapati had other plans. Instead of "so bad it's fun," he delivered "so bad it's painful." It's boring, impossible to focus on, outrageously loud, ridiculously violent, and proudly brainless.

    Balakrishna in the lead? Oh, absolutely perfect. Only he can play a protagonist written with the depth of a WhatsApp forward. No one else could survive this role without losing their sanity. Samyukta is the female lead, apparently. What she's doing here is one of the film's biggest mysteries - and trust me, the movie has many.

    The rest of the cast? They don't act; they just attack the audience's patience.

    And Boyapati... wow. He didn't push the limits - he launched himself into space. He has officially created a film so chaotic that scientists should genuinely study his brain activity. This movie alone explains why aliens refuse to make contact with Earth.

    If you actually sit through this masterpiece of madness, please book a therapist afterwards. You deserve emotional support for surviving it.

  • Honest Opinion.

    The core idea of the film is simple but good. The story and character development are okay, nothing great but nothing terrible either. The screenplay moves very slowly and is quite predictable, but the emotional beats - especially in the second half - land well. People from Andhra might connect with the film more than audiences from Telangana, simply because of the cultural tone and sensibilities. Overall, it's an average film, not a bad one.

    Ram and Upendra do justice to their roles, and Bhagyashree is fine in her part. The music and cinematography are good, and the production values are rich enough for a film of this kind.

    If the promos caught your attention, you might enjoy it. This generation's youth may like it even more, since they haven't watched as much diverse content as the older generation, so this might feel fresh to them.
