Epic: First Semester X Review

A user (@omkrishram) said, Clean entertainer with good emotions - 3.5/5."


Another user (@Dir_jashwanth) wrote, The film has a simple love story at its core, but the writing struggles to build enough depth or surprise around it. The narrative feels stretched, with most turns being easy to predict. A few emotional moments work to an extent, while the visuals and music add some value. The biggest drawback is the incomplete feel of the ending, which clearly sets up Part 2."


A third user (@RaviAKP) said, "Except few complaints in 2nd half... Youth audience will enjoy that 1st half nd couple of emotional scenes in 2nd half."


A fourth user (letsxCinematica) wrote, #EPIC strikes a strong chord with its relatable middle-class life, youthful fun and genuine emotions. Anand Deverakonda’s innocent performance works well, while the father-son relationship and their emotional moments stand out."

A fifth user (@iamchinu03) said, They called this an epic movie, but the story was absolute rubbish; it was actually irritating to watch in the theater. I couldn't make sense of it—it was just nonsense. That’s my opinion; I didn't like it at all."
