Analysis:

Balayya, who had a very bad year wanted to get a break with Ruler, his 2nd outing with K.S Ravikumar after Jai Simha. Ruler, had some interesting promos and had decent buzz before the release. Makers gave enough hints that this will be a typical balayya’s movie. Balayya did justice to his rule and his fans will definitely enjoy this film but for all others this may end up as a bore. Except few dance numbers and some elevation scenes, there isn’t a single thing that you will appreciate in the film. Movie may run in B,C centers a bit but will find it tough in A centers.
