Maa Inti Bangaram

"Samantha Ruth Prabhu finally lands on solid ground after the misfires of Shaakuntalam and Yashoda. The action carries the film, even when the emotional writing struggles to keep pace."

"This time around, they have something more action-packed, with help from Raj Nidimoru, who puts his expertise from The Family Man and Citadel: Honey Bunny to pen a story that flips the script. What happens when a Samantha, instead of a Rajinikanth or Kamal Haasan, plays a woman with a complicated past?"

"Director Nandini Reddy's Maa Inti Bangaaram, starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Gulshan Devaiah, is a female-led commercial film with great action. It is also a film that proves women can headline an action drama and do it convincingly."

"Samantha Ruth Prabhu shoulders a film that has more box-office potential than its predictable narrative suggests. While the first half is filled with clean comedy and revolves around family drama, the second half unfolds in an expected and tedious manner, diluting the essence of the narrative."

"Unfortunately, this combination results in a familiar and predictable narrative that struggles to leave a lasting impact. However, the screenplay fails to support her efforts. Despite the ambitious intent, the film never fully comes together."
