This war is a lost cause

Director Lingusamy has been going through a low phase and has been looking out for a strong comeback on screen. However, he Warrior which he has written and directed, is definitely not that film. This movie seems to be a potpourri of some of his earlier films where the hero plays a cop who is out to...(more)

Mediocre

First half of the film works for the masses, second half is not up to the mark.Ram and Aadhi did perform well. Entire movie runs on Satya Vs Guru thread, which turns as the major drawback.(more)

War On Audience

yet another disappointment from the seasoned filmmaker.

Typical masala cop drama

Lingusamy is known to make action films in a particular style and has done the same with this film. Though the narration is decent, it does not arrest you much with its screenplay. More hero villain elevations should have been added from the first half itself. (more)

Ram Pothineni's latest suffers from generic screenwriting and shallow characters

It's disappointing that a film that attempts to try so many things lacks in execution. The screenplay offers no emotional drive to keep us invested � something that recent films like Ayyappanum Koshiyum ( Bheemla Nayak), where an ego trip was enough to make a solid conflict, managed to do. Lingusamy...(more)

Loses The Battle

The Kurnool backdrop, a rowdy controlling the entire city, a police officer taking on the rowdy� none of these are new to the Telugu audience. Perhaps, director Lingusamy thought a doctor becoming an IPS officer to give treatment to the wounded system might bring newness to the mass genre. It would ...(more)
