Reception edit

Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express opined that "But at times it does look like the debutant maker had attempted to stretch what should have been a short film, to an unmanageable length".[5] Anupama Subramanian of Deccan Chronicle wrote that "The director should be commended for steer clearing from sleazy scenes despite the film being a romantic tale that takes place in one night journey. The problem with the movie is that it just revolves around the lead two characters most part of it".[6]
