Films Opens To Mixed Reviews

The film was welcomed by the audience however, it received mixed reviews from the critics. NTR Jr gives an impressive performance as revered warrior chieftain Devara and his timid son, Vara. The action-packed film boasts larger-than-life scenes, but despite Saif Ali Khan’s presence and NTR Jr’s charisma, the weak storyline falls short. Janhvi Kapoor, whose name was marketed well by the makers, had a blink and miss appearance in the film.
