Strong chemistry between Ram and Bhagyashri wins heartsMany X users praise the on-screen equation between Ram and Bhagyashri. One tweet read, "Hero–heroine good chemistry scenes super smooth ga flow ayyayi… love story vibe clean and pleasant." Another user praised the female lead, writing, "Heroine graceful presence ante overacting lekunda, scenes ni elevate chesindi — decent timing too."
Mixed reactions over pacing and predictabilityWhile the film received appreciation, some watchers shared areas where it could have been stronger. A reviewer wrote, "A sensible film from Ram in recent years, #AKT is a one-time watch for its fan-star story . Some well-crafted sequences help, but do not expect it to move you emotionally."
Another netizen called out the film's lengthy pace, sharing a mixed response from X, stating, "A Satisfactory Fanism/Love Story that’s predictable and too lengthy, yet maintains a decent feel-good vibe throughout. The conflict and resolution unfold in predictable ways, yet the emotional beats are handled decently. The length could use trimming. Narration could've definitely been tighter."
