Kabza was one film that caught the imagination of many. The manner in which it was promoted all over made sure that the film will start with a bang at the box office. The film had Upendra and Sudeep in the lead roles. R Chandra has produced and directed this film which is a period action drama made on a massive note with high technical aspects.

Though the film has opened well in Kannada, the situation in Telugu is different. The action drama has started on a very dull note and the occupancy is not even 50% today on a key weekend. All this has happened due to very poor word of mouth. Both the critics and audience have panned this film in a big way in Telugu and that is why the low collections.

The common complaint by moviegoers here in Telugu states is that the film looked like a replica of Yash's KGF. The way it has many scenes and visuals inspired by KGF has disappointed one and all. Also, Upendra has lost his charm in Telugu. The makers tried hard and promoted the film on Sudeep's name but he only had a special role.

Shriya Saran played the female lead and even in the age of forty plus, she is looking a million bucks. She played a key role in this film which is about Upendra who plays an Indian Air Force officer. The cinematography has come in for a some praise and Upendra impressed his fans in Karmataka but here in Telugu states, the film has flopped big time.
