Ahimsa (2023 film)

Tamma Moksha of The Hindu wrote, "I would rather take a muscular protagonist without morals — indulging in action sequences and physically hurting rapists — than watch another minute of a stingy boy-next-door who seems to draw his heroism by solely associating with a brutalised woman and abandoning his values thereafter".^[10] Neeshita Nyayapati from The Times of India said, "Teja delivers moments when you think the film will pick up pace and proceedings will turn interesting but that never happens. Ahimsa has a story and narrative that unfortunately seem stuck".^[11] Chandhini R of Cinema Express wrote, "Ahimsa wants to be a lot of things, but all it ends up being is a damp squib of a film that finds itself down and out with almost no redemption".^[12]

A reviewer of Sakshi.com wrote, "Especially in the second half, many scenes should be cut more crisply. The production values are decent for".^[13] A reviewer of ABP Majha said, "The audience who went to the theaters will feel that 'A' is missing. What more can't be said. It cannot be said that Abhiram Daggubati's debut was a hit. This remains one of Teja's flops."^[14] A reviewer of Samayam wrote, "All did justice to their roles. Rajat Bedi who played the villain, another actor who played the role of Chatterjee, all of them who appeared as the Lumbdi gang did not connect with the audience".^[15] Avad Mohammad from OTT Play wrote, "On the whole, Ahimsa is an outdated, boring, and over the top romantic drama that has tried and tested so many times in Indian cinema. There is absolutely nothing that this film offers and the so-called debut of Abhiram Daggbati is also a disappointment".^[16]
