Reception
A critic from The Times of India rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "While its exploration of deepfakes and their potential societal impact offers food for thought, its uneven execution keeps it from being a truly impactful thriller. Fans of crime-comedies with a technological bent might find some enjoyment in this film". A critic from Cinema Express rated the film one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "It is at best a short film, but Mani extends it so much that it loses all its potency". A critic from Times Now rated the film three-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "To cut a long story short, this is a film that is highly recommended. This film might not have popular stars or a huge production house backing it but it definitely is a worthy entertainer that deserves your attention and support".
