Television broadcasts often cut the intense "slap sequence" or the psychological torture in the second half. The exclusive version restores the full 168-minute runtime, including the much-debated climax where Arya manipulates Ajay into attempting suicide. This uncut nature is why fans pay a premium for the exclusive.

Upon its exclusive re-release on digital, reviews were mixed but passionate:

⭐⭐⭐½ (3.5/5) – One point deducted for an unsettling climax, but bonus for the raw dubbing and Allu Arjun’s career-best performance.
