Kannappa X Review: Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, Vishnu Manchu's fantasy drama gets mixed reactions, netizens say 'lacks in first…'
'Kannappa,' a Telugu mythological action drama starring Vishnu Manchu, has officially hit theaters on June 27, 2025. Helmed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and produced by veteran actor Mohan Babu, the film tells the story of Kannappa, a tribal hunter who becomes a devoted follower of Lord Shiva. Initial audience reactions have been shared on platform X (formerly known as Twitter), providing insight into how viewers are reacting to this fantasy drama, which has a star-studded cast.
After its trailer launch and songs, this film generated enormous buzz amongst the fans and cinema goers; however, after its initial release, it has received mixed responses from sections of netizens. While fans of Prabhas, Akshay Kumar and Mohanlal are praising them for their dynamic screen presence and the second half's last 30 minutes, many have criticised it for its poorly written first half.
One fan who watched the film said, 'A visually grand mythological epic with a soul-stirring climax! #VishnuManchu shines, especially in the final 30 mins, with powerful cameos by #Prabhas, #Mohanlal & #AkshayKumar. Some VFX & pacing issues in the 1st half, but the 2nd half is a spiritual knockout!' Another user took to his account and said, 'Above Average #VishnuManchu was decent, he does well in climax #Mohanlal, #AkshayKumar & #Prabhas shine, Music & BGM, Production Values & VFX, Lengthy, especially 1st half,
2nd half works Rating: 3/5.
One user praised the sequence of Prabhas, Akshay Kumar and Mohanlal and wrote, 'Last 20 mins performance by Prabhas appears as Rudra, film is filled with devotional sequences, ends in a heart-touching climax. #KannappaReview – Rating: 3/5 Positives – #Vishnu as ' Thinnadu ' Acting ' in 2nd half #Akshay & #Kajal opening scene #Mohanlal & #MohanBabu scene too Good, #Prabhas Entry & Screen presence, BGM.

First Half : Low Budget – Bahubali 1 and Bahubali 2 👏👏👏
Cringe Max romance scenes need a trim 🙏 Slows down the entire plot 🙏
