The movie runtime stands at 2 hours 20 minutes, with the first half being 1 hour 15 minutes and the second half being 1 hour 5 minutes. Early reviews of the film are out and the film has got mixed reviews from moviegoers. While, a few have loved it, others are highly disappointed by the film. While the verdict is unanimous in terms of Vijay Deverakonda’s body transformation and fighting sequence, people have not liked the stammering bit of the actor in the film. Many moviegoers have expressed their disappointment in Puri Jagannadh’s direction and Ananya Panday’s acting skills. 

Take a look at a few reviews here: 

Earlier on the issue boycott trend on social media, Vijay Deverakonda asserted that he is not scared of anything as he had faced a lot in life. He said he trusts God and has the blessings of his mother. 

"I have struggled a lot to reach here," the 'Liger' said here during a promotional tour. "I fought for money and respect. I also fought to get work. Before the release of my first film, I didn't have much money and I even worked free of cost." 
 
Recalling his early days in the industry, he said: "Many people opposed me at the time of the release of my film 'Arjun Reddy'. But it became successful. I faced all and now I am not scared. Now, I make movies for people. Some drama is much needed and I am ready to fight." 
 
Deverakonda also made a plea for all to work together for the success of the entertainment industry. "There are a number of people involved when a movie is released. So, if it fails at the box office, they all suffer. We must work together for each other's success," he said.
