Plot: This multi-linguistic movie with the budget of about Rs.350 crore is based on the times of two periods - that is before Independence, about the British times of ruling, and after Independence. Prabhas plays the character of an Indian King and Shraddha, his queen. And in the second part of the movie, he plays the role of a police named 'Varun', also called 'Sahoo'. His father is a prominent time scientist, who made a jet pack attracting a drug mafia gang. This leads to a fight between him and the mafias.
Meanwhile, Shraddha is a dream runner, excited to dream her life with Sahoo. The movie showcases the concept of the cycle of birth, and the lead characters are reborn again after Independence. It depicts how time has changed after people got freedom.
Prabhas, in the second part of the film, is the one-person army serving the city. The city is under fire, and the lives of people are at stake. Putting some action thrill, Prabhas's character uses heavy weapons and machinery to beat up the most dangerous thugs of the city. He, being a one-person giveaway, puts all his efforts to protect and safeguard his town, and makes sure to save everyone's life.
Review: The film has made in three different languages - Telugu, Tamil and Hindi. It is directed and written by Sujeeth, and produced by V. Vamsi Krishna Reddy.
The teaser of the film had gained more than 80+ million views on YouTube, showing the excitement of the people to see the pair of Prabhas and Shraddha. The graphics and cinematography have been well-recognized. The shooting is mostly done in areas of Hyderabad, which showed our India before Independence in the British rule time as well as Romania, Abu Dhabi and Mumbai.
All the actors have shown their way of portrayal, making it a thoroughly entertaining package. The songs of the film depicts great chemistry of Prabhas and Shraddha on stage.
After some serious true-life-based movies like John Abraham's 'Batla House' and Akshaya Kumar's 'Mission Mangal', which were released on Independence Day, our Indian audience wanted some action based entertainment.
It seems that Bollywood is also into some Tollywood action, and the audience is enjoying it!
