Reception

The Times of India rated the movie 2.5/5 stars and although the movie was appreciated for being painstakingly crafted; it was criticized for being too dour and clinical and bereft of humour, pace and drama.[3]

Subhash K Jha too rated the movie 2.5/5 stars and summed up his review as "If there are no highs in the narration, there are no plunging lows either" and singled out Rajit Kapur’s acting as the one stand-out performance.[2]

gollark: It is, at least, not used as part of some commercially sold remote management product like Intel's ME is, as far as I know.
gollark: Does it? I thought it ran with basically the same "literally everything" perms as the Intel ME.
gollark: Bad?
gollark: Apparently Intel might have to outsource some of their GPU stuff, since their 7nm node is seemingly very behind schedule and they had contracts for providing some to a supercomputer project.
gollark: Intel was meant to be branching out into GPUs, except their fabrication team somehow managed to repeatedly mess up for years on end.
