Why it’s a Saturday Special

It was critically acclaimed and it's still drawing plenty of interest, despite a box office flop. A strong pick for the weekend.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved The Asphalt Jungle or Obsession, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
Unhurried and epic, at 2 hr 31 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 31 min.
  • It's in Telugu, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

A middle-class bank clerk who longs to trade stability for adventure gets more than he bargained for when he unexpectedly becomes a wealthy man.
