DNA India considers it an entertaining masala spectacle powered by Jr NTR’s commanding dual act, Saif Ali Khan and its large scale action. However, Koratala Siva’s predictable storytelling, limited emotional substance prevent it from becoming the blockbuster it might have been.

India TV says the high octane action drama lacks originality, spark and an engaging screenplay despite Jr NTR and Saif Ali Khan’s performances.

Filmibeat describes it as a full paisa vasool big screen entertainer driven by Jr NTR’s powerful dual performance, Anirudh’s music and lavish technical presentation.

BollywoodLife calls it a gritty, high octane tale of bravery led by Jr NTR’s intense and commanding performance.

Hindustan Times says the predictable film fails to live up to the grand legend it constructs. Jr NTR struggles with underwritten material, Saif does not receive his due and Janhvi’s debut is bland.

Koimoi celebrates the film as a grand, stylish and highly commercial action spectacle carried by Jr NTR’s intensity and Saif Ali Khan’s villainy.

Pinkvilla says the movie's lengthy runtime, abrupt second half tonal change, weak VFX, underused Janhvi Kapoor and derivative cliffhanger reduce it to a one time watch.

Bollywood Hungama praises the terrific first half, clap worthy action, but finds the romantic track forced and the second half messy, predictable.

News18 says Jr NTR almost single-handedly keeps the film engaging through his terrific screen presence, while the production design, CGI, coastal visuals and creative action score highly.

NDTV calls it a mixed bag dominated by relentless action and scale but lacking genuine emotion and originality.
