ETimes verdict
The film also received rave reviews. ETimes praised Samantha’s character and wrote, “Samantha anchors the film with confidence and tenacity. She moves between quiet emotional scenes and physically action blocks with ease, never letting Swarna become a one-note action heroine. There is rigor in the performance, but also fatigue, fear and weakness. These shades make the character more compelling than the stodgy protagonists often seen in the genre.“Our exclusive review praised the supporting cast, saying, **”Gulshan Devaiah proves to be an effective foil, bringing an unexpected unpredictability to his role rather than opting for straight theatrics. In Diganth Manchel, Gautami and Sreemukhi contribute meaningfully to the family dynamic that creates the dynamic behind the story.”Disclaimer: Box office numbers and information in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
