Reasons to Watch
- Prabhas gets a chance to be a more playful, commercial actor rather than his usual serious action roles.
- Having three leading actresses – Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, and Riddhi Kumar – creates the potential to have several disparate romantic storylines and the chemistry to go with it.
- Thaman’s score is full of thriller and dance vibes and is entertaining for everyone.
- The presence of comedy and drama with the additional new-age by Samuthirakani and the old-time classic by Brahmanandam, Sanjay Dutt, and Boman Irani.
- The combination of fantasy, horror, supernatural elements, and royal involvements is a fresh take on traditional Telugu commercial cinema.
