?Naga Chaitanya surprises in the role of Raju
?Second half is the saving grace
?VFX looks cheap
?1st half feels dragged and slow
?only teaser bgm is repeated all over the movie and songs doesn't elevate the movie
?Unnecessary and not conivincing heroism pic.twitter.com/dIKBFtOFt8
Netizens also praised the music.
