Reception
Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu wrote that "How Rohit and Sasi narrate this story makes all the difference. Shashank Raghavula’s visuals, with a touch of grunge and realism, give us snapshots of a day in Danny’s life" but added that "In the 105-minute film that comes to speed when the friends begin their hunt for the double-headed snake, there are stretches where nothing seems to happen".[4] The movie was reviewed by Times Now.[5]
