Breaking his 'boy-next-door' image, Nani as Dharani  impressed the audience with his raw and gritty performance. The movie, which collected an estimated Rs 38 crores worldwide on its opening day, is regarded as the best opening in Nani's career so far.

Not just in India, the film has emerged as a blockbuster overseas.
