Audience response from early screenings has been overwhelmingly positive. Fans are praising the performances, particularly those of Akshay and Madhavan. Social media is buzzing with words like “brilliant,” “gripping,” and “emotionally powerful,” especially for courtroom scenes depicting Nair’s legal battle against colonial forces.
At the special screening held a day before release, Akshay Kumar addressed the audience with a heartfelt request. “I humbly request you all to please keep your phones in your pockets and listen to every dialogue of this film. It will mean a lot. If you try to check your Instagram during the movie, it will be a humiliation for the film,” he said.
