Mixed reactions on social media
While the box office numbers look promising audience reactions online remain divided.
One review read, "Typical commercial format film with many scenes written to elevate Hero. Nothing creative nor bad out there. Its decent so far. Harish Shankar puts together best efforts to show Pawan Kalyan in his strength mass elements. Background score is decent enough Few comedy scenes, ‘Ekke daka‘ song worked out well. On flip side, the template story might not impress gen Z audience."
Another user wrote, "FANS of #PawanKalyan have enough in the film to watch it without many complaints. Other sections might try watching it in the theatre only if you’re comfortable with viewing TEMPLATE-DRIVEN COMMERCIAL ENTERTAINERS."
On the other hand, Pawan Kalyan's previous film was 'OG'. The actioner received decent reviews from the audiences, expecially for the sound track by Thaman. The songs are composed by Devi Sri Prasad.
