Moviegoers are saying

This religious epic about Krishna and Radha's divine love story splits audiences dramatically - while some dismiss it as 'Wattpad fanfiction' with TV-level production values, others find it a spiritually immersive cinematic experience elevated by ethereal music and sincere performances. The film's controversial use of AI imagery in opening credits has become a lightning rod for criticism, overshadowing what many consider genuinely beautiful storytelling.
