Performances :
The Role of Rudramadevi is a tailormade role for Anushka, she performs well in the role of the warrior
Queen. Allu Arjun as expected steals the show as Gona Gannareddi with his special role and makes it memorable. His body language and comedy timing is being appreciated by the audience. Rana after Baahubali carries his royal persona and baritone voice lives the role Chalukya Veerabadhra. Nitya Menen has very limited scope but performs well. But rest of the cast jusgt walks thru the film as too many characters to keep track on,
