Idlebrain Rating: 3.25

Naayak is a film that is tailor-made for Ram Charan as it is high on entertainment value and ensures commercial payoff. This film is made with the sole aim of churning out a blockbuster. Hence you can see a lot of compromises as far as logic, aesthetics and finesse are concerned.

Bharat Student Rating: 3.25

The film has come in with a lot of expectations and many thought this would be like 'Stalin' 'Tagore' and more social oriented. But the director didn't do such experiments and stuck to comedy and entertainment.
