The sets look cheap, similar to a daily soap, and a bizarre sequence that we don't know why was even added to the movie. What is truly disappointing is Prabhas’s and Sanjay Dutt's decision to be part of a film where every frame feels juvenile and purposeless. The exaggeration is pushed to such an extent that it neither makes you laugh nor entertains you; instead, it only ends up boring you."</p>
