Why It Rocks

 * 1) Just like Baahubali, the visual effects look absolutely stunning for a South Indian film, sure it may look a little too cartoonish, but this is a movie where it was made in a country where most of the CGI looks mediocre.
 * 2) The acting is brilliant, especially from N. T. Rama Rao Jr. as Bheem and Ram Charan as Raju, and especially from Ajay Devgan, Ray Stevenson and Alia Bhatt, what helps is that their acting were impressive as the film marked the debut of the latter three in Telugu cinema.
 * 3) Catchy soundtrack composed by M. M. Keeravani, who also did the score for the film, such songs include "Dosti", "Janani", "Komuram Bheemudo", "Raamam Raaghavam", "Etthara Jenda", "Komma Uyyala¿ and most famously, "Naatu Naatu".
