Reception
The film opened on 21 February 2014. Manigandan K R of The Times of India wrote, "to cut a long story short, while the messages David's film seeks to convey are significant, the manner in which they have been packaged isn't." Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express noted it was a "fairly engaging thriller", writing that "the narration may seem a tad loosely etched and jumpy at times and has its glitches. But it’s a debutant director’s sincere effort to move away from the beaten path and is refreshingly different."
