Release
The film opened to negative reviews from critics. The Times of India gave 1 out of 5 stars and wrote "Nugam wants to be a nail-biting, high-concept thriller but the only nail-biting that you do while watching the film is out of sheer frustration...the ham-fisted filmmaking and the even more amateurish performances (Jey's weird dialogue delivery is a definite contender for the worst line-reading ever in a film) turn it into an unintentional comedy".[1] Behindwoods.com gave the film 0.75 out of 5 stars, labelling it as "poorly executed" and adding it was "a tiresome movie viewing experience".[5] The New Indian Express labelled that the film had a "good plot gone awry".[6]
