Reception
Thiraipadam wrote "poor execution results in an incoherent, slow movie that spends too little time on the main story, instead lurching around in several different, ineffective directions."[3] The Hindu wrote "WHAT COULD have been a thrilling action-packed film ends a damp squib, thanks to insipid treatment".[4]
