The Bad aspects
  • The usual Trope of telugu(or any indian movie rather) hero introduction, where a large chunk of time is spent on introducing Bhairava as a character, the usual trope of hero is the hero because he is the hero, and not because of the accolades of the Character portrayed by the Actor, the film puts him on a pedestal from the get go, a recurring theme most of these filmmakers cannot avoid, but it doesn't, as such, take you away from the experience.
  • The Music was good but underused throughout the film
  • some of the introductory characters are used as fillers rather than serving any actual purpose in the film, for example the character of Disha Patani, who is there for a single sequence, and never to be seen again, a sequence which could have been completely avoided but still wouldn't make a difference to the movie at large, feels like the Director brought her in just so the audience can have a pretty thing to look at.
  • Action direction in the first half of the film, underwhelming.
  • Length, I feel like the editor could have done a better job and shaved off a good 20-25 minutes of the film, giving us a more crisp cut of the same, you definitely feel the 3 hour runtime of the film, particularly in the first half (which is to be expected since they're setting up a new franchise, and good chunk of time is spent for world building and character intros)
The Good
  • First things first, the inspiration from Indian mythology/history, it is recurring thing in the movie, going back and forth between the kurukshetra war, and the timeline of the movie, the war and characters of the epic are treated with respect, and due diligence is taken to present them the respect they deserve, although the war sequences make up a minor part of the movie, hands down the best portrayal of Mahabharata war I have ever seen onscreen. The crowd erupted when Lord Krishna took to the screen, the creative choices in his portrayal are to be admired, to say the least. I personally believe this movie has set the standard for how the Indian epics deserve to be portrayed on screen, the audience would want nothing less.
  • the visual effects/CGI, very commendable for the budget they were working with, one could make out where they had to cut corners, but again, doesn't take you back from the experience.
  • the actors did a phenomenal job, saving for the foreign actors.
  • The final 30 minutes of the movie really puts a light on the director, could rewatch the entire movie, just for the 30 minutes.
The film ends in a cliffhanger, foreshadowing what is about to come
I hope the filmmakers learn and present a better version of their already commendable work, going forward in this cinematic universe.

The All Time classic, use subtitles and then use translate feature.

Forgettable film, no emotional attachment and will not be remembered that much anyway. Only Mahabharta scenes were engaging. First time seen folks seeing their phones in theaters.
