Prajith and carries a mix of drama and commentary on the entertainment world.Our ETimes review states, “Although Sharaf U Dheen genuinely tries to carry the anti-villain role, the motives behind his character’s hostility feel weak.” The review adds that the supporting cast brings depth and energy, noting, “On a brighter note, the supporting cast including Ishaani Krishna, Ramesh Pisharody, Anand Manmadhan, Akhil, and Senthil Krishna etc delivers good performances that helps the film.”The reception to the soundtrack has been uneven. Our review notes that the recreated version of a well-known track stands out for its appeal, stating, “while the recreated version of ‘Dil Dil Salaam Salaam’ hits the right nostalgic notes, the rest of the soundtrack fails to make any real impact.” ETimes review also says, “The female lead, played by Asha Sharath, is perhaps the film’s weakest link in terms of writing.”Despite the critical observations the box office performance shows that audience interest remains consistent and the film is all set to cross the Rs 5 crore mark soon.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
