The movie's plot may appear quaint, perhaps suitable for the 1980s era, yet it struggles to resonate in contemporary times. The screenplay lacks originality, with each scene and sequence treading a path of monotony and predictability, reminiscent of tropes prevalent over the past three decades. The dialogues, sadly, fall into the realm of familiarity.
Vijay Devarakonda's presence feels ill-suited, as he comes across more like Samantha's younger sibling than a fitting co-star.

On the contrary, the supporting cast executes their roles competently.
While the production design, costumes, and makeup all exude a sense of opulence, they lack vitality. The cinematography can be deemed satisfactory, though the editing could have been more succinct.

"This film portrays Orthodox Hindus as superstitious and unintelligent, while depicting Atheists as arrogant. However, it contradicts the idea that Orthodox Hindus are willing to marry their daughters to individuals from different castes and beliefs easily. It also suggests that Rationalists will contribute to environmental pollution and disrupt public peace by playing loud music, bursting crackers in front of government offices, and dancing."
