Watching our mythical gods come alive on our screens is her favourite part of it. God!! What a film!!!”
Vijay, who played a cameo as Arjuna in the film, wrote that he hopes the film makes ₹1000 crore at the box office. He is speechless and overwhelmed. The Indian cinema’s new level unlocked.
Sibal Chatterjee, NDTV Film Critic, in his review for NDTV, gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, “On the acting front, Prabhas leads the way and not only because the film revolves around him. His strong presence serves as a counterpoint to Amitabh Bachchan’s towering Ashwatthama – the deathless warrior is an eight-footer. The latter’s voice is, as always, an integral part of the character. Deepika Padukone, playing one of the central figures, is splendid as the pregnant woman on the run. Saswata Chatterjee, as the bad guy who shoots lethal laser rays from his fist, has his moments in a film that often lets spectacle overwhelm everything else that it is trying to convey about mankind and the dangers it faces due to its own profligate ways.
The film backed by Aswini Dutt and produced by his daughters Swapna and Priyanka under the banner of Vyjayanthi Movies released in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi on Thursday, 27 June.
