It could have been perfect if Pawan Kumar had worked on the pacing and the backstory." "The Times of India"'s Sravan Vanaparthy praised the screenplay and performances done by the lead actors. In contrast, a critic from "Pinkvilla" gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and added that "The narration doesn't give the audience a thorough grip on the turn of events" and praised the cinematography and music.
