I went into the film with great expectations, showing the power of Rana. upon coming out of the Bahubali franchise, we are not bombarded by a Brute strength body builder hero, but a smart and cunning one. The movie despite its lengthy nature kept interesting the whole way through, with the nail-biting tension kept throughout the entire movie.
Rana's acting was out of this world, proving his diversity as an actor, being extremely convincing in his role, showing both a passionate husband, as well as a motivated and somewhat evil pilitician.Supported by Kajal very well with her emotional performance bringing tears in my eyes. I was literally shaking in my seat with their convincing performances.
Teja has shown that he is capable of creating masterpieces, and I only expect great things going forward. the angles and build up shots were very well executed.
my overall verdict is that the film is not a family entertainer, but is definitely a work of art that can be appreciated by more mature audiences.
