Isaac investigates on his own, discovering that Dr. Mikhael John, a young surgeon of Star Hospital is the killer and Easa's informant.

"[9] Deepa Soman of The Times of India gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "By the first half itself, the reasons for the events yet to unfold are almost clear and those waiting to be revealed post intermission hardly evoke any thrill as they arrive.

"[15] Litty Simon of Malayala Manorama wrote "The slow-paced thriller won't really blow your mind, but it comes with enough masala for a Nivin Pauly movie.
