Release
A reviewer from The Hindu noted "the script is good in the first half but sags in the second", adding "the director has not done much to sustain the viewers' interest or to keep them guessing".[4] Balaji Balasubramaniam of BBthots.com wrote the film was "a rare entry in the horror genre, this movie too flatters to deceive" and that "it was a thriller that draws us in with the right setup and has some good ideas but disappoints in its pacing and execution".[5]
