Between the screenwriting and adaptation on screen, there is quite some lost, as the film ends up being a rather slow-paced dull narrative, instead of the edgy whodunit that it is originally intended to be. This could have been an edgy thriller, but it doesn't end up anywhere close to being that.

KGF Chapter 2

2022 · Times Of India

The film belongs as much to filmmaker Prashanth Neel as it does to Yash. Both of them have managed to create a brutal tale of raw machismo with a hint at a third chapter.

Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana

Raj B Shetty announces loud and clear that he is a storyteller who is here to stay and make films that redefine genres and will entertain the audience at the same time. Violence, gore and bloodshed has never looked as romantic as it has in this film, with taut storytelling abilities enhanced by international-standard technical work. For those who rave about City of God or Angamaly Diaries, here's our very own answer to that.

With no extra frills and a tale that keeps you invested, Dia is refreshing. The realistic treatment of the subject, coupled with deft cinematography and apt background score, gives this film an edge.
