The movie seems interesting because it shows the challenges of a middle-class life, but later, it loses its appeal because the story and emotions aren't strong enough. Vijay Deverakonda does a good job as a family man, but Mrunal Thakur's character, Indu, isn't as interesting in the second half. Even though they have good chemistry.
Some critics say that the movie's pacing and how the story is told are its biggest problems. The first part is good because of the family drama, but the second part isn't as exciting, so people lose interest. The music by Gopi Sundar is okay, but it doesn't make the emotional scenes better.
