Performances:
Balakrishna as usual roars loud with his outstanding performance as Dharma and Arjun Prasad. He looks super stylish in one of the roles. Sonal Chauhan and Vedhika carried the film well with their glamorous presence. Prakash Raj, Jayasudha and Bhoomika played very important roles and they essayed them with perfection. All the other actors did their jobs well and they were well fit in the assignments.
Ruler 3 has an interesting plot and it is the screenplay, treatment that is quite crucial. The narration and writing looked completely outdated and made no impact. The dialogues are good at times. The editing work should have been better. The music was just ok and the background score looked decent. The cinematography work was good and the production values are grand. KS Ravikumar makes the film fall flat with his outdated directorial abilities.
Verdict:
Ruler is an outdated attempt because of the poor direction and writing. Balakrishna shines in the dual shades which alone cannot save the film.
