I think it was great there are a few reasons

1.The trailers were misleading ,people stepped in thinking Vijay Deverakonda will be more or equally aggressive as seen in Arjun Reddy

2.Nota and another horror comedy Vijays previous movie was a flop so lot of people didn’t want to go the hype was low

1. The beggining scene a Telegu hero getting thrashed in his first scene doesn’t happen in Tollywood almost every movie shows reverse of that a hero usually beats up people when they enter,this happens several times in the movie

4.The pacing the movie really takes its time to show you every minute detail during the heros and the heroines rehab and some people told me they felt drowsy in those scenes

5.The subject is depressing , some of us can understand but for a general viewer expecting a full mass film will feel thrown off

6.I don’t speak Telegu so I can’t determine if the music was good ,that is still a contributing factor.
