Reception
Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Every conversation about likes, reels, or virality just takes your attention off the screen and incidentally, to your phone. [...] To be fair, Kalaiyarasan and Priyalaya do a pretty good job with the material they have. The script could have used some experimentation. "[11] Jayabhuvaneshwari B of Cinema Express gave 2/5 stars and wrote "The film good writing, different thriller".[12]
