Reception

Abhilasha Cherukuri of Cinema Express gave the film a rating of 2/5, stating, "The film had the chance to become a better film, but it didn't because of poor writing. The film reminds us of the survival films Helen (2019) and Trapped (2016). A few scenes in the film will make you feel like you are in 2005."[9] Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 2/5 and wrote, "Maybe the film was made in experimental mode, but the performance of the leads attracts us, but the story and screenplay don't."[10] Avad Mohammad of OTTplay gave the film a rating of 2/5, stating, "Performance-wise, the film is good, but the writing and screenplay narration style are not good."[11] A critic from ABP Live Telugu gave the film a rating of 1.5/5 and criticized the writing and performances of the actors.[12] A critic from The Hans India gave the film a rating of 2/5, stating, "Even though the actors performances are decent, the film is below average."[13]
