The film is emerging as a box office success despite mixed reviews. Manoj Kumar of the Indian Express gave the film three stars and wrote, “Even though Lucifer was set against a political backdrop, the film gravitated more towards presenting Stephen as a mythical character. Director Mohan Raja, however, has steered clear of mystery and has turned GodFather into a full-fledged political drama (sic).”
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has appeared in an extended cameo in the film, which seems to have helped the film majorly at the box office.
Directed by Mohan Raja, GodFather is a Telugu remake of the Malayalam blockbuster Lucifer, starring Mohanlal in the lead role. Other than Chiranjeevi, the film stars Nayanthara, Satyadev Kancharana, and Murali Mohan in pivotal roles.
