Critical reception

The Hindu stated "The film’s core plot is ripped from ‘The Hangover’ films, but the prudent way it has been shot could be a guide to filmmakers preparing to work under COVID-19 restrictions."[8] The New Indian Express stated "It’s a compliment to films like Cocktail when they get reviewed, when we offer evidence that we have indeed subjected ourselves to their torment."[9]

gollark: Unless you only send the code via group DMs and the rest of the information via this channel...?
gollark: But then nobody will be able to help.
gollark: Two channels and a bot posting between them with some details removed?
