Reception[]

Thadhagath Pathi, writing for Times of India gave three stars out of five and termed it as "An engaging thriller that unfolds well." Pathi liked the portrayal of protagonist Gautham as a regular policeman trying to solve a crime instead of a superhero. He praised Sumanth and Nasser for their performance, and Simon King for the music. Pathi concluded, that the film had no unnecessary elements and the director Pradeep Krishnamoorthy kept the flow smooth making it into a worth watch film."[13]
