Featured reviews
I have been seeing a lot of needlessly negative reviews for the movie. There are two ways to look at the movie. You can look it as a Telugu cinema which has taken two steps forward in action cinema or you can look it vis-v-vis Hindi and Hollywood cinema. I am looking at it as a nice Telugu movie that is pushing the envelope. Come on what were people expecting in popcorn cinema ... it has nice action, nice thrills, a good plot, good acting, great locations ...and a thoroughly enjoyable performance by Akhil. People seem to have a vested agenda in pulling down the movie.
The positives first of all - locations, cinematic quality ... I must talk about the Dolby Atmos mixing was excellent. The cinematography top notch. Akhil Akkineni was very convincing as the agent and if at all, he deserved a slightly stronger script. Mammooty was excellent as usual. But, the surprise pick was Dino Morea as the antagonist. He has slipped into the role effortlessly as the menaching antagonist. I would recommend it for action lovers. Don't go expecting a Pathaan or a Mission Impossible look alike and I am sure you won't be disappointed.

This is a really good movie it is made like movies like John wick and James Bond. The average lower intellect crowd would not find it entertaining as it is a very intellectual movie with a lot of twists. But you need to watch and need to promote such movies rather than basic hero killing the villain and love sto-ries. As a film making student it is a really well made and perfectly executed screenplay.
Please give it a better shot without getting blinded by falsely created reviews on YouTube. It's such movies that bring the film industry to the next level and together bring the entire community and society up with it !!!

Soulless writing with poor execution
Songs and BGM are major drawbacks... nothing really works out well in the movie
Below par directorial skills, so many logical loop holes in the narration...
Though the movie has got decent production values, technicalities were quite substandard...
Improper setup and unseemly conflict point establishment...
Decent interval block set!!
Over the top action sequences... the movie just keeps getting cringier at every point doesn't really cope up with audience engagement... Predictable screenplay and unworthy flashback episode... Poor character development... Akhil does have the potential as an energetic youngster, but on a whole it turns out to be complete mess and slowly starts to torture the viewers... Even rest of the characters doesn't have any scope... in the end it's just another half-baked product Overall: Surrender reddy's poor work, a huge disappointing mindless spy action flick!!

The story revolves around Mammotty trying to take down Dino morea who happens to be running Syndicate. Who is Akhil? What is the connection between Mammotty and Akhil? How did he take down the "The GOD" is the rest of the story.
Positives: Cinematography - The movie looks very good. Rasool Ellore did a superb job. He is responsible for making us sit throughout the film.
Akhil- He worked hard for the role. He underwent a physical transformation and looking more like a mass action hero. However there is not much scope for him to showcase his skills. May be because of the scenes and situations.
Sakshi vaidya is looking beautiful.
Mammootty-His aura is there in entire movie and did justice to his role.
Dino- He is rightfully cast as the villain and looking fresh.
Negatives: Sometimes even average songs become blockbusters based on the song placement and impact of the movie. Here ,there is an under development of heroine character and the placements of the songs which made the music and average and forgettable fare.
The screenplay is very dull. The story might be very good on paper but seeing the scenes on the screen feel us bored.
Action sequences are the core area of the film. They are passable. These scenes require an "awe" kind of feel since it's an action entertainer.
The accent and dubbing of the heroine didn't suit. Villain is introduced well with good hairstyle and attire. As the movie progresses he looks different in different situations.
Ending is unconvincing.
Finally my opinion the movie might have started with noble intentions but what was there on paper couldn't be translated on screen. You can watch it for Akhil, Mammotty and Dino performances.

It's a two and hour nonsensical movie. The screenplay was very audacious and cringey. The movie is commercialized to the core and it's not even entertaining. Saw a lot of people walk out of the movie in the first half .Akhil looks really awkward in the Spy role and the dialogues are boring and repetitive. By the end the movie I had enough of the dialogue s like " Nothing is accidental . Everything is incidental" , "Wild Saale". Poor music and placement of songs irritates you. It's basically a story about larger than life fighting off each other with some SPY tech jargon words. I am struggling to think about one good thing in the movie apart from Mammooty's presence. I have watched too many SPY movies and this is definitely not one.
So in a NUTSHELL " an absolute mess that you don't wanna step into"
