No need for dialogue. The protagonist tells his story through carefully choreographed movements and facial expressions. He earned a name and showed why it was deserved. Like RRR, I appreciate taking a legend or regional lore and building a new story from it.

I like the villain as well. He was believable, tough and cocky. Not sure if he improvised or directed to do the little things that stood out to me. A look here, a gesture there. I liked him.

I'm willing to suspend belief when in the cinema, but there's one glaring problem, for me. His sidekick. Especially at the very end. It doesn't compute. In all, worth the money spent, great pacing, made me feel something and great length. A minute longer would've ruined it. Yes, some suspension of belief is needed, but I loved First Blood with Sly, and the Spartacus series, so I'm loving this. 7.5 for me, but there's no decimal here.
