Nara Rohith brings calm control to his role, portraying Varadha with understated strength. The true comeback, however, belongs to Manchu Manoj. Returning to the screen after a hiatus, he owns the role with a fiery presence. His deep baritone and brooding intensity add a sharp edge to the proceedings."
