Singh is the chaotic good of the trio with his philosophy of ‘save the nation not by dying for it but by killing the enemy – even if it takes difficult decisions to achieve it. Arjun is lawful good and believes in following the rules to the T while Devaraj represents neutral good who is unbiased and the peacemaker between the two extremes. This conflict keeps the first half engaging besides the scenes that sets the stage for the big confrontation later. The second half however is where the actual drama unfolds.
Even though you might feel the scenes are a little draggy, it undoubtedly adds to the anticipation. Reminiscent of a chess game, with the two crews guessing and trying to defeat the next move of the opposition, the film keeps you hooked. You will gasp, cheer and swear as the Indian Navy does on screen. Rana Daggubati was the star in this film but Kay Kay Menon was the hero. His performance as the stern Commander was so convincing that you would instantly hate his arrogance and yet love his dexterity. His cold commanding stare could penetrate the screen and send a chill down your spine. Rana’s skill however, shines through in the second half in what was possibly his best performance yet. Atul Kulkarni too as usual brought the character to life. Rahul Singh, who plays Commander Razzaq (and the neutral evil) of Pakistan also did a commendable job, particularly against actors of that calibre. Sankalp Reddy evidently knew what he was doing.
