This character represents a career highlight for Nani—both performance-wise and in how it establishes him in Telugu cinema. This is his defining performance within the action-thriller genre, and audiences are dubbing it his finest work since years ago.
Whether it’s the emotional suspense, action-packed thrill, or the intense interrogations, Nani owns every frame. His presence on screen commands attention, and his dedication to the character adds depth to each turn of the story.
Srinidhi Shetty: Elegantly poised, Assertive, and Scintillating

Her chemistry with Nani is effortless and warm, bringing an emotional depth to the otherwise tense story. The romantic subplot of their characters is never artificial; it has a natural flow, inducing the audience to emotionally invest in the lead couple. She is a significant highlight, striking a balance between beauty and substance.
Director Sailesh Kolanu Creates a Gritty, Vast World

And when the climax arrives, it arrives with force, sending even jaded thriller enthusiasts off their chairs. The twist of the climax is making waves for its sheer audacity and surprise, solidifying Kolanu as one of the smartest filmmakers in Indian cinema today.
