Reactions to the announcements for this 19th-century Indian rebellion epic are mostly split, with a slightly higher number of people feeling mixed than outright positive. The core story of a leader rising from drought to fight colonial oppression is landing well with the few who mentioned it, seen as a classic and compelling premise. The big point of conversation, however, is the cast, particularly Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, whose involvement has generated a lot of discussion that leans more skeptical than excited. Some also feel the concept lacks originality, calling it familiar territory. Arnold Vosloo gets a few positive nods in the chatter.
