The narrative is inspired by the Mahabharata, while the annual Draupadi festival forms an important backdrop to the events in the film.The film has received appreciation for Akhil Akkineni’s performance. ETimes review reads, “Returning after a three-year gap, Akhil Akkineni settles comfortably into his first full-fledged rural role. He underplays the character for much of the film before delivering his strongest performance in the emotionally charged climax. Bhagyashri Borse is convincing as free-spirited Bharathi, while the supporting cast lends credibility to the story. Sivaji, despite an effective screen presence, feels somewhat underused.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
