Early reactions on X show that Andhra King is receiving a mixed response, with many praising the performances and chemistry, while others feel the pacing and predictability hold the film back.
Several users highlighted the strong on-screen chemistry between Ram Pothineni and Bhagyashri.
One viewer wrote, “The hero–heroine chemistry is super smooth… the love story feels clean and pleasant.”
Another user appreciated the female lead’s performance, noting, “Her graceful presence elevates every scene without overacting — her timing is impressive.”
Some viewers also mentioned that the film carries a breezy romantic tone. A fan posted, “A complete feel-good vibe throughout, with a perfect blend of fanism and love story.”
A reviewer shared a balanced take: “A sensible film from Ram in recent years. #AKT is a one-time watch for its fan-star storyline. There are some well-crafted sequences, but don’t expect major emotional impact.”
Another netizen pointed to the film’s length and predictability, writing, “A satisfactory fanism/love story that feels predictable and too lengthy, though it maintains a decent feel-good vibe. The conflict and resolution unfold in expected ways, but the emotional moments are handled well. The film definitely needed tighter narration and some trimming.”
Despite the concerns about pacing, the performances have received unanimous praise. Ram Pothineni is being called “superb” and completely in control of his character, while Upendra is described as “perfectly cast.”
Actors Rao Ramesh and Rahul Ramakrishna also seem to have left a strong impression on audiences.
Andhra King follows Ram Pothineni as Sagar, an ardent fan whose life revolves around his idol, ‘Andhra King’ Surya Kumar, played by Kannada superstar Upendra.
