The soaring epicness of second part of the film and the excellent climax were tainted by bloated, boring and technically terrible first half. It had cringe dialogues, poorly choreographed action scenes and unnecessary subplots.

The props used throughout the movie looked like cheap foam. There was too much "inspiration" drawn from Hollywood movies.

The first attempt from Nag Ashwin is average at best. I hope he improves significantly in the second part of this film. To do so, he should focus on Mahabharata and adapt it as faithfully as possible. The sci-fi elements of the movie were most disappointing, whereas, the characters from the great epic were thoroughly exhilarating!
