Just watched #Kanappa, and I still can’t shake off the last 30 minutes from my mind. The only time I’ve felt something this intense was during the climax of #Kantara. Audiences - especially devotees of Lord Shiva will be left in tears.… pic.twitter.com/MqPUdW9KVq
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)
Similarly, another user chalked out the goods and bads saying, "#Kannappa reviews are pouring everywhere: 1st half average, 2nd half blockbuster" Talking of positives the user noted, "Prabhas cameo, Last 20 mins perfomance by vishnu anna, BGM." (sic)
A user even went on to compare Prabhas' cameo with his role in Kalki saying, "Prabhas Anna #kannappa >>> #Kalki2898AD ,#Salaar, Best cameo in recent times." One user detailed, "The Bearable portions belongs to #Mohanlal & #Prabhas. Thankfully both their fandom's can relax now🤞Old Devotional North Indian Tv series had better quality. 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)
