Concept is really good but the director missed to capitalise on it. Majority of the first 2 hours of the movie is extremely slow and boring, not enough juice to captivate the audience and is hard for the audience to make sense.
The director should have ideally kept the story flowing around ashwathama and Deepika's characters, with fillers from other characters.
I am a surprised it made over 1000 crores but may be its because the quality of hindi cinema has reached rock bottom and that due to success of bahubali and RRR there are genuinely high hopes from indian audience in the south indian movies.
