ETimes verdict:
The film also received rave reviews. ETimes praised Samantha’s portrayal and wrote, “Samantha anchors the film with confidence and conviction. She moves comfortably between the quieter emotional scenes and the physically demanding action blocks, never allowing Swarna to become a one-note action hero. There is strength in the performance, but also fatigue, fear and weakness. Those shades make the character more compelling than the invincible protagonists often seen in the genre.“Our exclusive review also appreciates the supporting cast, saying, **”Gulshan Devaiah proves to be an effective foil, bringing a simmering unpredictability to his role rather than opting for straightforward theatrics.DISCLAIMER: Box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
