The movie's use of visual effects is prominent, sometimes overshadowing the narrative. Critics noted that the film often feels like a showcase for VFX rather than a cohesive story. For example, there are sequences specifically designed to highlight visual effects, such as a scene with chess pieces animated to reflect character dynamics and a drone disguised as a bee navigating through the temple. While the film boasts an interesting premise with elements of a mythology thriller, including a sacred temple and hidden treasures, it struggles with execution. The writing is criticized for lacking depth and relying on dated metaphors and imagery. Characters are often reduced to clichés, and the story sometimes feels melodramatic and over-the-top.

Story line and the way they thought the film through are good.

Screenplay and Cinematography could have been better ! Nevertheless, acting is terrible by some cast member (especially Baggy and Tanya). The way they move in few scenes like (under hypnotism) are worse.

Some scenes like finding the key stones are even worse - could have been better. And finally, the treasury's son opens the lock by hitting some rock ??? Come on !

For this mythical/hystorical story, finding of the keys should have been mesmerizing.

I don't understand the need for adding some Carnatic music in some scenes, don't understand the purpose of the songs either ! But besides these, story is a punch.

Do not belive any reviews. Watch it yourselves. An underrated movie. It's really nice , especially camera work. U won't get disappointed and good weekend movie. Its like movie Karthikeya, however direction n camera work is good. Dnt expect anything, just watch it . You will love it. I dnt know y it got mixed reviews but way Michael worse than this movies like pathaan git better reviews, ofckurse they must be endorsed and paid. What ever, just start the movie and I guarantee you that you won't stop it until the end. Sibi raj did his justice , heroine is ok and rwt of the characters tried their best. Only negative is they could have infused much better a tors for comedy for supporting roles. Otherwise an excellent underrated movie.
