Kannappa X reviews

One disappointed viewer noted, "#Kannappa - Worst One Ever 🙏🏻 Still it's a Wonder How They Pulled all This Superstars For a Shittier a Film. Poor VFX, Dialogues, Making Etc Etc TOTALLY Avoidable - 1/5⭐"(sic)

Another user posted a honest review saying, "Climax hits well and #ManchuVishnu gave a decent performance too. Worth the ticket just for #Prabhas Cameo and that climax👏 But the first, First half isnt that good... in fact the fights were poorly directed and in a few sequences the VFX is bad too." (sic)

What have they done to #AkshayKumar 🤦head & body looks like they are stiched together." (sic)

Another user who watched the film on day one wrote, "#KannappaReview - I HAVE TO SAY HONESTLY. WATCH THE FILM✅First half is slow and builds up the plot, and 2nd half is pure devotion and is structured amazingly. #Prabhas Anna and @iVishnuManchu Anna did very well. The last 25 Mins of the film was pure goosebumps for me. Theater went silent and everyone synced with the emotion. Honestly great cinema for the weekend in my opinion." (sic)
