Mixed reviews from audiences

Unfortunately, the film received mostly mixed reviews from the audiences. One of the major drawbacks were said to be the poor VFX works in this Pawan Kalyan starrer. An excerpt from ETimes review for the film reads, “MM Keeravaani’s rousing background score is a clear highlight. The supporting cast is underutilised. Bobby Deol brings quiet menace as Aurangzeb but appears only briefly. Other actors, including Sathyaraj, Nassar, Sachin Khedekar, Subbaraju, Sunil, Raghu Babu, and Kota Srinivasa Rao (in his final appearance), are present but given little scope.”As Day 3 approaches, all eyes are on the weekend performance to see if the film can bounce back from the early dip and regain box office traction.
