Its review highlighted the performances of Vismaya Mohanlal and Aashish.ETimes’ review read, “Vismaya manages to hold her own throughout, even though there are a few moments when the emotions don’t fully come through. Aashish is remarkable as the villain, and together the duo have excellent screen presence that keeps one hooked. Despite the solid performances, there is a slight artificiality in how the second half unfolds. The tonal shift is jarring, but it is wrapped up neatly with a cleanly executed fight scene.“DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
