Performance

Megastar Chiranjeevi did his excellent performance in the role of Acharya at both. The actor wins the audience’s heart with an honest performance and dancing style at this age and delivers note noteworthy performance and his expressions, way of dialogue delivery, stunning dance moves and action scenes are mind-blowing.

Ram Charan gives his best in the role of Siddha. Ram Charan from Gurukul, looks peaceful but later transforms into a mass avatar, which is amazing. Both father and son duo look amazing on screen in a single frame. Pooja Hegde looks beautiful and performs well. Jisshu Sen Gupta and Sonu Sood are good in their roles. Other supporting actors are fine.

Technical

Once again Koratala Siva made his comeback with a social drama but this time he came up with a weak script and dull presentation and disappointed the movie lovers with the outdated story and screenplay. The cinematography is impressive. The visuals are awesome and the editing is good. The background score composed by Mani Sharma elevates the emotion of the scenes. The foot tapping songs are impressive and the production value is top notch, the makers of the film did not compromise with the quality of the film.

Analysis

In the first half of the film, Acharya has no interesting moments and the climax looks forced. The major drawback of Acharya is the lack of a strong villain and Sonu Sood has become a real hero post-Covid crisis and that is the reason he does not look like a villain.
