A Twitter user commented on the film’s predictable screenplay, which makes several scenes appear flat and lacking a punch. The review reads, “#UiTheMovie’s first half has been decent so far, with pure rage and a standout one-man performance from #Upendra. However, there are a few flat scenes and a partially predictable screenplay flow, which are the drawbacks. The movie introduces a new plot and is technically brilliant, with excellent visuals and background music. The opening 10 minutes and the interval block had exciting moments that kept the audience engaged.”
Another netizen wrote, “What an incredible film, sir! Breathtaking! A thrilling masterpiece! Rating 4.5/5.”
