Ānand Rāju Mudunūri

The lead actress should've definitely been anybody else than Payal Rajput. She was the biggest drawback to the film and is definitely one of the worst actresses in recent times. Unfortunate that good south Indian films aren't being helmed by good actresses. The film is conceptually excellent. The execution is where lies it's downfall. Cinematography doesn't give the 80s feel...for ex. how can a remotely situated house lit with nothing but lanterns be so bright??? Watch it for the concept but you'll surely get a bitter feeling like "this movie had a great potential to be an excellent film".

Prequel was definitely a must watch!!! Humour was not up to the mark. Antagonists characters needed more depth and justification. Only a handful of good scenes and action sequences. The use of a antenna in granting everyone's wishes was outright illogical as there's no physical touch involved. Gal gadot was a treat to the eyes. Portrayal of general public from the 1980s was obnoxious (for ex. the scene where WW rescues a child in the mall and the way people react to the bad guy trying to throw of a child from the third floor) Overall it was just a below average watch!!!
