Summary:
The film arrived with decent hype, mostly riding on Prabhas’s star power and nostalgic promotions revolving around a family legacy and emotional drama. The promotional campaign by the team created curiosity with the “mystery of the missing grandfather,” but the actual result didn’t quite live up to expectations.
Synopsis:
Gangadevi (Zarina) dotes on her grandson Rajasab (Prabhas). When she falls sick searching for her long-lost husband Kanakaraju (Sanjay Dutt), Rajasab takes up the mission. Along the way, he meets Stella Blessy (Nidhhi Agerwal) and falls in love, while Bhairavi (Malavika Mohanan) also enters his life. But when Rajasab finally finds Kanakaraju’s whereabouts, shocking truths unfold…What really happened to Kanakaraju? Why is his spirit haunting Rajasab’s destiny?
Analysis:
The story plays with elements of family emotion, supernatural mystery, and triple love tracks, but the screenplay fails to maintain the emotional grip. Despite strong production values, the narration turns sluggish in the second half. Performances, however, lend some weight to the emotional moments.
Positive:

Negative:

Overall:

Bottom Line:
