The story follows Haridas, a man from a marginalized background who falls in love with Saraswathi, a woman from an upper-caste family. After a betrayal and years in prison, Haridas escapes during the COVID-19 pandemic. He plans a heist to fund his escape to Dubai but crosses paths with Saraswathi, who desperately needs money for her husband's heart transplant. The two join forces for a robbery while facing their complicated past.
Adivi Sesh: He tries hard to play a rooted character with a local dialect, but his stylish image doesn't always fit the raw role.
Mrunal Thakur: She gives a very good performance, especially in the emotional scenes during the second half and climax.
Anurag Kashyap: He has a few strong moments as a cop, but his character feels like it was not fully written or was edited out.
Sunil: He is given a very small role that doesn't let him do much for the movie.
Prakash Raj: He is a talented actor but is wasted in a role that is very simple and unimportant.
Strengths
Weaknesses
The direction is very stylish and technically sound, but it fails to balance the emotion and action smoothly throughout the film.
