Rajath Annappa, who played the role of a young and intelligent youth, excellently executed his part. He gave a decent performance. Roopika returns to the Kannada industry after three years. She beautifully plays the role of a victim of cybercrime.

Analysis

The viewers experience thrill from the beginning till the end. The film contains Action and thriller elements in a balanced proportion. It has all the seriousness and logic which are not present in such types of movies. The high-quality action scenes and the background music are absolutely stunning. Roger Narayan and Manu KM are the two strengths of this film. Their performance gives goosebumps.

However, the narration fails at some points. The scene where the hero rescues a youngster and the other scene where the hero and his team hack a server is less impressive. But this does not have much impact on the film. As a whole, the film is interesting and a must-watch.
