The author and director speak about caste-based discrimination, feminine empowerment, and interfaith marriages within the easiest method. The movie’s observations aren’t Earth-shattering, however they’re emotionally stirring. The movie emphasises on the necessity for a change in patriarchal perception methods and stresses that each human being is equal regardless of caste and creed.
Vishwak Sen has delivered a career-best efficiency as Arjun Kumar Allam. This film will certainly create a brand new fanbase in household audiences. Rukshar Dhillon, nonetheless, isn’t given a lot to do. Ritika Nayak as Vasudha (Madhavi’s sister), impresses often. Goparaju Ramana, of Center-Class Melodies fame, and Kadambari Kiran have achieved their greatest in comedian roles. On the flip aspect, regardless of the movie’s entertaining story, it does get sluggish at occasions.
