[4] Sreejith Mullappilly of Cinema Express rated the film two stars out of five and wrote, "The film is full of excess but is made with such passion that you wish it were slick enough to be a fun romp [...] The heavy-handed approach to storytelling, with all the expository passages, is such a dampener".
