Earlier on December 8, Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film became a topic of discussion in the Parliament this week amid a record-setting box office run.

However, many – including Congress Rajya Sabha MP Ranjeet Ranjan – have lambasted the film for its “justification of violence and misogyny".

“My daughter and a bunch of other children were watching the film. They cried and left the theatre at halftime. The film's justification of violence and misogyny is shameful," she told the Upper House of Parliament.
