In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, occupancy rates hovered around 63.5% for morning shows, with strong advance bookings pushing collections higher by night. Trade analysts even speculated the film could reach ₹30 crore on its opening day, though actuals stayed slightly below.
🌟 Review: High Ambition, Mixed Execution
The film, directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, is a visually rich historical adventure set in the Mughal era. Pawan Kalyan’s portrayal of the freedom fighter Veera Mallu received high praise, with his screen presence and gravitas anchoring the film.
👍 What Worked
- Pawan Kalyan's performance is widely appreciated – stoic, fierce, and commanding.
- Action sequences, especially those set in Charminar and Machilipatnam, are grand and intense.

👎 What Didn’t Work
- Slow first half and uneven pacing hurt the film's narrative rhythm.
- CGI and visual effects in key scenes feel dated and unpolished.
- Story feels incomplete as the movie builds toward a sequel.
