The film has been facing heavy backlash since it started streaming on Netflix. Social media is full of memes and trolls, with even audiences from other languages joining in to mock Devara and director Koratala Siva.
Such reactions happened with ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ and to an extent with Salaar as well. However, both films remained number 1 on Netflix for at least a week after their OTT release.
