It also discussed the screenplay and its handling of the characters and central conflict.The review reads, "Srikanth Odela clearly has a distinctive filmmaking voice, particularly in the way he creates atmosphere and stages violence. But visual confidence alone cannot compensate when the screenplay loses its grip on the characters and the central conflict. By the time the film reaches its final stretch, the exhaustion comes less from the darkness of the subject and more from how long the narrative keeps circling the same emotional territory."DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
