The film, which runs for nearly three hours, was touted as a grand cinematic spectacle, with historical scale and emotion. Let's take a look at what the Twitter users are saying about the film.
From electrifying action to disjointed narrative
Hari Hara Veera Mallu | Song - Evaradi Evaradi
Initial Twitter reviews have been a mixed bag. One user commented, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu's interval brings the heat, but the first half's slow serial vibes & big action miss the mark.' Another chimed in, calling the Kusthi fight 'one of the best action sequences in Telugu cinema.'
Yet, many were less forgiving. One early viewer tweeted, 'No grip on the storytelling, visual effects & drama doesn't work. Big second half needed for at least an average film.' Some criticized the visual effects and flow of the narrative, calling it 'bits and pieces stuck together' and describing the viewing experience as 'torturous so far.'
Another one wrote, "Done with Hhvm premiers .. movie- okay ok. Fights . Pawan Kalyan screen presence.
Kervani thatha sava kotinadu. But VFX &cg chala worst."
Star cast and technical talent can't save it for all
Despite featuring a loaded ensemble cast—Bobby Deol, Nidhhi Agerwal, Nargis Fakhri, Nora Fatehi, and Sathyaraj—many viewers felt the film struggled to hold attention. Even with an impressive list of technicians including cinematographers Manoj Paramahamsa and Gnana Shekar V.S., and editors like KL Praveen, the film's VFX and storytelling were widely criticized. Action choreographers like Nick Powell, Ram-Laxman, and Peter Hein added muscle to the action, but reactions suggest the impact was inconsistent.
Keeravani's music stood out for some, but for others, it wasn't enough to rescue the overall experience.

Who was Ziad Rahbani? All about his life, career as tributes pour in for Lebanese composer
Ziad Rahbani, one of Lebanon's most influential composers, playwrights, and cultural voices, passed away at the age of 69. The hospital in Beirut where he was being treated confirmed that he died of a heart attack on Saturday, July 26. The eldest son of legendary Lebanese singer Fairuz and renowned musician Assi Rahbani, Ziad was a creative force whose works reshaped Lebanon's musical and theatrical landscape, especially during the country's civil war era, reported Khaleej Times. Lebanese Minister of Culture Dr Ghassan Salame, in a statement, revealed that Rahbani had recently begun to reject medical treatment for his deteriorating health. Salame, in his message on X (formerly Twitter), expressed deep sorrow over his death and wrote, 'We dreaded this day… Ziad no longer had the ability to imagine the treatment and the surgeries it would require.' Lebanese President Joseph Aoun hailed him as a 'defiant voice against injustice' and a 'true mirror for the oppressed'. Fans across Lebanon and the Arab world also mourned his passing with an X user writing that Rahbani transformed Lebanese culture, shaped their thinking, politics, and humor. Another called him 'light during hard times'. Rahbani's death marked the end of an era but his music and words will continue to resonate for generations. Born on January 1, 1956, in Antelias, Lebanon, Ziad was immersed in music from a young age. According to Khaleej Times, with encouragement from his father Assi Rahbani, Ziad began composing music when he was a teen. At 17, he wrote Sa'alouni El Nass ("People Asked Me") for his mother Fayrouz: a song which has since become a classic across the Arab world. Rahbani's talent extended far beyond composition though. His debut play Sahriyyeh (An Evening Gathering) marked the beginning of his prolific career in theater. Through his works like Nazl Al-Sourour, Bema Inno, and A Long American Film, he boldly addressed Lebanon's political and social struggles with biting wit and satire. Rahbani's symphonies were distinguished by intervention and scathing critique. With this grinding jumble of classical, jazz, and oriental, a stir was introduced into the Lebanese arts scene. The theater pieces and songs he wrote for the marginalized speak of the frustrations, hopes, and comic views of everyday people. A: Ziad Rahbani was a Lebanese composer, playwright, and political satirist known for his innovative contributions to music and theater. He was the son of legendary artists Fairuz and Assi Rahbani. A: He died of a heart attack on July 26 in Beirut at the age of 69. He had reportedly refused further medical treatment in the weeks prior. A: His notable works include the songs Sa'alouni El Nass, Kifak Inta, and Bala Wala Shi, as well as plays like Sahriyyeh, Nazl Al-Sourour, and Bema Inno. A: Ziad Rahbani played a key role in modernizing Lebanese music and theater. His sharp political commentary and unique blend of musical styles made him a beloved cultural figure across the Arab world. A: His mother is Fayrouz, the legendary Lebanese singer, and his father was Assi Rahbani, one-half of the iconic Rahbani Brothers.
