ETimes review
The movie has received good reviews from critics as well. ETimes said, "What adds an extra emotional layer is how Vineeth and Methil Devika carry their brief appearance towards the end.
The emotions they evoke through a simple reaction are deeply shattering, followed by the brother’s response, which lands with equal impact. The dialogues are mostly effective, though a few moments falter—possibly due to delivery. Akhil has Gen Z lingo firmly in his grasp. There are also endless cameos and numerous characters scattered throughout—some working well, others not so much."
Nivin Pauly will be next seen in the villain role in 'Benz' which has Raghava Lawrence in the lead.
