Performance: Prabhas portrayed Salaar’s character very well. The scenes between Prabhas and Shruthi Haasan, as well as the flashback and the action sequences are good. Each character and each track have been designed very well by the director Prashanth Neel. Especially the scenes between Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran are also pleasing. Prithviraj Sukumaran gave life to his role. Prithviraj Sukumaran acted brilliantly in Rough and Mass Avatar. Prabhas – Prithviraj Sukumaran’s on-screen friendship has also worked out well. Jagapathi Babu also acted very well in the powerful character. Shriya Reddy shined in her role. The elevation scenes of her character are very good. Eshwari Rao got a very good role. She also entertains in the role of mother. Bobby Simha, Madhu Guruswamy, Tinu Anand, Ramachandra Raju, Icon Satish acted very well. Also, the rest of the cast also did full justice to their roles.
Technical: Prashanth Neil’s direction is impressive. Especially the story line, action sequences and main emotions written by him are very good. However, the film would have been on another level if the thrilling story had been written effectively. Ravi Basrur’s background score is also impressive. Technically, the work of the technical department in the film is very good. Bhuvan Goud’s cinematography is the highlight of the film. The cameraman’s work in some key scenes is very good.
