Release
Genius received mixed reviews as audience praised its story and music but the movie met its doom in length of the movie and the screen play the director Omkar concluded that movie bombed at box office due to his lack of strength in narrating the movie to the spectators.
He also concluded that the film was more expensive than it should be and should have been including some depth in the scenes the movie failed to meet its budget and fairly disappointed the producers but it also brought in the directorial talent of Omkar who already was a famous anchor and a bunch of good and young talented people.
