Challenging star Darshan's much-awaited "Mr Airavatha" has opened to mixed reviews. It is an action-thriller written and directed by AP Arjun of "Addhuri" fame.

Take a Look at 'Mr Airavatha' Stills

"Mr Airavatha" features Urvashi Rautela in the female lead role. Versatile actor Prakash Raj plays an important character with Ananth Nag, Bullet Prakash, Sadhu Kokila and others in the cast. The interesting part of the story is that Vineesh, son of Darshan, makes his film debut with a brief role in the movie. 

Story & Reviews
Airavatha (Darshan) is an honest cop, who is against corruption and aims to see a crime-free society. But he has committed a mistake and how far it will affect him is the interesting part of the story. The role is tailor-made by Darshan and his scenes with Prakash Raj are treat to watch. Actress Urvashi is good and rest others have done justice to their roles.

Cinematography by Shekhar Chandra is appreciable, V Hariskrishna's some songs are good and editing by Deepu N Kumar could have been better. 

The reviews coming from social media sites indicate that "Mr Airavatha" has got mixed reviews and many have declared that the film is strictly for Darshan's fans. Below, we bring to you the people's response to the flick:

@MrAiravata @dasadarshan @AP_Arjun_film So far only build ups. Honest cops have stopped using helmets and only promote RayBan shades

@MrAiravata @dasadarshan @AP_Arjun_film #Intermission Its Just build-ups n promotion of #RayBan shades n #Enfield #bullet
@MrAiravata My take its 1* #disaster by @AP_Arjun_film @dasadarshan. The only 1* is for @prakashraaj without him its not worth even 1*
#Directors who know nothing but promote build-ups waste the #talents and #popularity of @dasadarshan n #award #winning #producers #Shame
