Action · video-game adaptation · released 16 Oct 2026 · Telugu version of the English film · Legendary Entertainment
Hardly anyone in Telugu is talking about it. National critics rate it 2 to 4 out of 5: fun fights, cast and music, but a thin plot and choppy editing. The Telugu version made about ₹0.13 crore net from 382 shows by 28 October (Sacnilk), none of the 12 Telugu YouTube comments we found give a view of the film, and the Telugu reviews come from channels below the 100,000-subscriber bar.

Critic reviews
| Critic | Verdict | In brief |
|---|---|---|
| Free Press Journal Kabir Singh Bhandari | 4.0/5 | Hails a nostalgic, funny adaptation with punchy character-driven action, synthwave music and a well-cast Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim; one for the big screen. |
| Koimoi Rajiv Vijayakar | 3.5/5 | Energetic action, music and performances like Centineo's Ken make it lively fun for gamers, despite a thin plot and an underused Vidyut Jammwal. |
| The Week Nitin SJ Asariparambil | 3.0/5 | Strong fight choreography, camera work and cast capture the arcade game's campy spirit, but a weak plot, thin villains and choppy editing hurt. |
| Deccan Herald Amogh Ravindra | 2.5/5 | A faithful fighter roster, a few big-screen set pieces and a '90s soundtrack entertain, but the plot is negligible and choppy editing cramps the fights. |
| Mashable India Aashna Nadkarni | 2.0/5 | Some fun in the Ken-Ryu bickering, action and score, but a rushed, hard-to-follow plot and an unsatisfying hero-villain clash disappoint. |
| Bollywood Hungama | 2.0/5 | Credits the choreography, anime flashbacks and cast, but weak writing, sudden developments and flat humour make it hard to engage beyond game fans. |
