I appreciate their efforts technically even with a lower budget but I will have to review the film as it’s. It’s exhaustingly generic Telegu masala film packaged as a superhero film. Thats it (I really don’t mind generic if it’s really cool and interesting). But It has age old Telegu masala or south masala syntax/cliches in every part of department - It uses literally everything there is and there was since decades. Never for once I could feel that there is something interesting going on in this world as a superhero origin story or something similar. Presentation is what matters even if a film is cliched. Just a change in overall presentation could have made a lot of difference for me. Good things I could point out was first 15 minutes - The way it slowly escalates into something darker which promised something good. It was really a good setup but then super mediocrity/cliches after cliches creeps in until last 10 minutes of the film where I could again see good efforts being put in to setup a sequel - More than a movie, the way they set it up for sequel towards the end worked for me. Otherwise personally most of the things didn’t work.
