On the other hand, Suresh Gopi's previous hit film was the investigative thriller 'Garudan' which received 3.5 star rating from ETimes with our official review reading, "There is one specific point towards the end that can be guessed immediately before the scene takes place but it takes nothing out of the movie even though the audiences were screaming the plot twist. The punch does land and it's a satisfying watch. Midhun Manuel Thomas faltered at some point with the script but despite that the film is enjoyable and it recovers towards the end.

The story by Jinesh is appealing while it does have some expected elements. While it is a thriller about a rapist, it doesn't make audiences cringe. There is a subtlety with which it is carried that makes it palatable for audiences who do not prefer to see gore on screen."
