While the film starts strong, it occasionally meanders, losing some of the initial momentum. The character of Daya, played with an unsettling intensity, brings an edge to the story, but at times, it feels like the film struggles to balance its tones. The dialogue is sharp and witty, which adds to the enjoyment, but the pacing could have been tighter. Despite its flaws, the film delivers a satisfying experience, especially for those who appreciate character-driven stories. It’s a worthwhile watch for anyone looking for something different in the realm of Telugu cinema. Show less
