SWAG Twitter Review: Sree Vishnu’s performance receives high praise from fans

SWAG Twitter Review

Sree Vishnu, one of Tollywood’s most bankable stars, takes center stage in SWAG, the latest directorial venture by Hasith Goli, which premiered globally on October 4. In a much-anticipated return, Meera Jasmine joins the cast, alongside Ritu Varma and Daksha Nagarkar, making for a star-studded lineup.

SWAG, short for SWAGanika Vamsaaniki SWAGatham, is a period comedy-drama that spans three distinct timelines, starting from 1551. The film follows the story of the Swaganika dynasty and its search for a successor. Sree Vishnu showcases his versatility, playing three distinct roles across different eras, and critics have praised his ability to transition seamlessly between characters.

Reuniting with his Raja Raja Chora director, Sree Vishnu brings a fresh energy to SWAG, which has been described as a laugh-out-loud experience in its first half, though some critics found the latter half lacking momentum until the climactic moments. The movie’s teaser and trailer, with their sharp dark humor, had already piqued the interest of fans and audiences, setting the stage for a grand release.

Take a look at a few X (Formerly Twitter) reviews:
