Petta Review
The Rajinikanth film has received good reviews with ratings between three to four stars. The movie takes back the Rajinikanth fans to 90's era. To begin with Rajini is a boisterous hostel warden who plays Uncle Cupid to a young couple. In the second half the plot simply takes off, creating a badland of bloodshed and retribution where bullets and bombs pelt down in a devastating tale of caste and communal wars.
