Mixed audience feedback
The film has received mixed responses from early viewers.

But this actor is his character, and this director has known for a long time that he wants to make this kind of film with this actor. What I thought after watching this movie was that if this actor continues to focus on stories like this, he will become a good actor. The storyline was very exciting, sometimes there was laughter and excitement.”Another viewer commented, “A spy thriller with too many cliche action scenes and intertwisted stories and too much twisted that every scene become a twist which are sometimes pleasant surprise like the end climax but sometimes too much cringe like the story of villain.. Good things first .. the cast has been well selected especially top notch villain role for santhosh pratap who has been seen in many filma as only foreign mappillai but had a meaty role.“
