The Positives
The screenplay of the film has definitely made a positive impact, with the scenes hailing from Pakistan turning into an instant hit. Devi Sri Prasad’s music and background score are also impressive, and the pre-interval to interval portions act as a key highlight! Some scenes, including Karachi Jail and a love letter, stand tall!
Unexpected Winner
The film seems like an unexpected winner, with a patriotism-flavored love story taking us back to the good old simple Cinema days. An X user posted, “A decent first half leading to an excellent second half! Naga Chaitanya‘s solid comeback—his acting is top-notch! Beautiful songs that hit the heart. Sai Pallavi shines as always! The Pakistan jail ragging scene = Intense! Last 35 mins = Goosebumps-worthy climax!” Another post read, “Went with zero expectations. Thoroughly Engaged. Naga Chaitanya’s performance is a surprise factor. Can watch it with family and your loved ones.”
The Negative
Pointing out the misses, a user posted, “Chandoo’s writing lacks consistency, but direction & cinematography are decent. Editing issues make it feel disconnected at times. Overall, a decent watch.” Another user confirmed the Minus Points and posted, “Slow Narration and Pakistan Episode.” One more post read, “A pure love story, but not much progress beyond what was revealed in promos.”
