Critical reception[edit | edit source]

Navein Darshan of The New Indian Express wrote, "Having grown up watching his films, I couldn’t help but admire Bharathiraja’s trademark touches [...] But, these weren’t enough for me to feel connected to a film which shows a depressed, suicidal girl as a gleeful, ever-smiling damsel".[8] Thinkal Menon of The Times of India wrote, "With an intriguing plot, what works for the film is the performance of both the lead artistes. But the below-par production quality and dramatic dialogues spoil the essence of several sequences".[9] Ashutosh Mohan of Film Companion wrote, "For a film about two lost souls going on a journey together, we needed to see more things happen to them on their journey. We needed to see them change, know more about the kind of people they were to help us identify with them during the journey.  But, we don't really get a concrete sense of their connection beyond what they tell each other".[10]
