Story:

Egoistic, Cruel Ruler Bimbisara tries to teach fear to his people by performing an inhumane thing which causes some extraordinary circumstances, and he comes into Present. How Bimbisara corrects his path in present timeline is main story linked with a treasure hunt.

Analysis:

First 30 minutes is major highlight with world building of Bimbisara kingdom, but later portions are bit repetitive. Once Bimbisara enters current timeline the movie picks the pace and interval twist is good.

Second half  dealt as regular commercial movie with regular hero villain confrontation, which weakens the purpose of movie a bit but still the emotions worked well and climax portion came good.

Performances:

Kalyam Ram did well with ample variations, Villain role could have been better. Srinivas Reddy was useful as comic relief, Catherine Tresa & Samyuktha Menon don’t have much scope.

Technical:

Visuals are extraordinary and background score by M. M. Keeravani is good. Songs were also nice, especially Neetho unte chalu and Eeshwarude songs were terrific on screen.VFX and artwork output is good.

 

Final Note:

A terrific story line involving Time travel and Socio Fantasy taken back seat with Regular commercial scenes and fights. But makes the audience engaged with right emotional quotient.
