Movie is excellent. Al Pacino at his best and bit too commanding at times. However his character and the situation he gets into because of that is justified…

Second half is the real saver for the movie. First half every woman drinks, nothing good shown about gays, flimsy reason given for sperm donorship. Some bit of foot ball coming after getting inspired by the director’s son. Lady is shown as competing with her own lover boy for the contract proposal win. What is that the movie teaching is unknown? Nothing inspiring. In the name of advanced thought the lady was shown as taking decision that men are needed only for bearing child and given the option of bearing child without men she will opt for that. In the end the lady quips in a disgusting tone that she doesn't believe in marriage, this without justifying why marriage is not a great tool for reinforcing commitment. Looks like the director is thoroughly confused about liberty, equality and fraternity. Give it a miss please…

First half is meandering aimlessly with a bit of melodrama. Ram charan father character portrayal exudes mixed emotions (bit melodramatic and old cinema also but works in parts). Second half is brilliant (songs puts break to the breezy presentation, however song sets looks fantastic and as usual Shankar brand). The brilliant thinking game unleashed by Ram charan character needs mention. However showing the antagonist in a mundane way is out of characteristic. However second half still stands out. First half initial scene where the hero is shown to be an angry man and mistakes the heroine father as someone else and the treatment meted out to him looks highly unprofessional and not up to Shankar standards. Shankar should have avoided such low belt hitting tactics. Overall one time watchable. Looks like the script for Indian 2 was used here (Indian 2 would have earned but more if this script was used)…

No words. Awesome. I was deeply moved by this movie.
