T Maruthi Acharya of India Today rated it 2 out of 5 and felt that the core idea is good but "the mystery lacks depth, the screenplay feels scattered and the logic behind key events is weak".[6] Echoing the same, Srivathsan Nadadhur of The Hindu further said that Allari Naresh's character lacks consistency".[7]
