Reception

A critic from The New Indian Express opined that "The director has painstakingly worked on the script in the earlier half and given it a fresh feel. However, he could have taken more effort in the second half and made it just as engaging".[8] A critic from Sify gave the film a verdict of "disappointing" and criticised the film.[9] A critic from Behindwoods gave the film a half out of five stars and wrote that "Technically, there is not much that deserves mention except for the effort of the crew to make the action sequences."[10]
