Gautam (Shivaji Dev), a young man in his late twenties, and his fiancée in the U.S., Ramya (Shilpa Bhatt), exchange endearments at midnight little aware of the disaster that is to strike in a few hours.

[11] The film exclusively targets the Internet audience and marks AVM's foray into the digital domain with "net flicks".

[4] Shivaji Dev, grandson of late yesteryear actor Sivaji Ganesan, was chosen to play the protagonist.

[13][14] AVM tweeted through their official Twitter handle that Shivaji Dev was not allowed to sleep for more than 30 hours to get dark circles for his role.

Although essentially a short feature film, the producers decided to go the whole hog, as they would have for a full-length movie, and did colour correction, EFX and Qube.

[5] Following the completion of the film, an audit was conducted to estimate expenses and was found to be around ₹ 20 lakhs, as informed by sources close to AVM.

[9] In her review, Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote that with a story that has substance, a natural treatment and decent performances of the cast, the film should do well.

While hailing the spontaneity of the characters in their display of emotion, she was critical of the narrative and felt that a lag set in halfway through.

Lauding that Shivaji Dev had delivered a dignified performance without melodrama, he also noted that the directors had demonstrated a good understanding of short film grammar by keeping the scenes tight.

[2] S. P. Muthuraman, who found the film heart-warming, remarked that the performances of the cast were on par with those of experienced actors.

Acclaiming Saleem Bilal for his "beautiful" cinematography, he also said that the music was a strong point as it suited the mood throughout the film.

In a hand-written letter of appreciation, actor Rajinikanth wrote that the film had traces of Balu Mahendra and Mani Ratnam.
