I am thoroughly disappointed and unimpressed with every story except for X-life. Nag Ashwin has done a fine job with his story and it is the only story worth watching among all the four. The other stories in no sense depict a fight against patriarchy. They simply present the pathetic state of romantic and conjugal affairs that are there in the real world. Everyone is already aware of how ugly the world can be and it does not make sense to simply narrate the same cruelty and nothing but cruelty again in these stories. If there is anything that needs emphasis right now, it is to showcase how strongly these women can emerge out and fight back against the gruesome attitude (patriarchy) that prevails in the society rather than succumbing to the pressure. Sankalp Reddy presents an utterly bland story of an extra-marital affair and it cannot be more disappointing. However, to look at the pros, Tharun Bhascker excelled in the humour element of his story and Nandini Reddy in her mysterious climax, leaving the audience to have their own interpretation. But the stories fail to deliver what they promise to deliver in the description i.e strong women fighting against patriarchy. They don't fight, they just fall prey to emotions.

A perfectly well-crafted and carefully fabricated contemporary film to hit the theatres in the apposite time and a movie that fits aptly well in this day and age. With the undeniably magnificent cinematography, mind-blowing background scores, impeccable direction, altogether to go with the ever so natural and smooth acting from each and every actor of the film, it's a wonderful fun-packed film that one can watch at the theatres to get the perfect recreation that we have all been waiting for. From the crazy VFX that begin right from the opening scene, impeccable BGMs that play throughout the movie, on par elevation and screen space to the female leads, to the end credits being captured over comics and many more, I am thoroughly impressed with all the finest elements of the film. This is the genre of cinema (away from the typical overly elevated alpha-male lead movies) that I would like our Telugu audience to appreciate more. For a movie that attempts to fuse zombies into the culture of faction, it cannot be done better than this. While grazing through the elements of Corona, the movie perfectly captures the essence of it all in one song at the beginning and it shall remain etched in history forever, to be reminisced later in the future. To sum it up, it's a greatly refreshing movie that offers a fun-ride all throughout. #GamersNeverQuit PS: No, I am not a fan of the divine element of the movie. It is not a well-thought out scientific film but a film that aims to entertain you all along. If you can cut it some slack and let go of that bit, you can thoroughly enjoy the movie.

No idea how the producer garnered the guts to invest in this movie. A sheer wasteful usage of the brilliant cast that it has. This is a typical old-fashioned story which lacks any sort of brilliance or newness. It would have probably caught some eyes only had it been released five years ago. The movie definitely does not fit in today's world since there is nothing so inspiring or novel in the movie. Except for the little effort that has been put into showcasing that women are equally competent in business, the story lacks any kind of strength whatsoever. In this day and age, putting so much effort into spreading a message as trivial as this is just needless. However, the actors did their best and that is the only non-disappointing aspect of the movie. On the whole, the movie is a total drag and lacks any spark in aspects like dialogue and writing.
