ETimes rated the film 3.5 out of 5 and wrote, “Asif Ali and Vijayaraghavan bring depth to this intense psychological drama. Asif Ali shines as Ajayan, a devoted husband but flawed father, struggling with guilt, regret and frustration as he navigates the weight of his responsibilities. The film adeptly portrays the silent bond of care between Ajayan and Appu Pillai, highlighting their deep, mutual understanding. Aparna’s portrayal of confusion, suspicion, and curiosity adds momentum to the film, while Vijayaraghavan delivers a compelling performance as Appu Pillai, skillfully balancing detachment with emotional depth.”
