Sunday Safe Betearly ratingWhy it’s a Sunday Safe Bet
It was critically acclaimed, though it had a box office flop and little lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for anyone who loves a world with magic in it and fans of swords, quests and kingdoms. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them. Fans of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring or The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey should feel right at home. A proper quest, with a world big enough to get lost in.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Grand in scale, at 2 hr 42 min.
- What might put you off
- It's long: 2 hr 42 min.
- It's in Telugu, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
A boy is raised by a village chieftain after his mother loses him in the woods. As time passes and he grows up, he falls in love with a princess who is under the spell of a witch and decides to save her
