Performance

Hassan
is
perfect
as
a
Karachi

with
a
haunting
aura
about
her.
Pain
is
her
defining
characteristic.
She
knows
she
is
doomed,
that
no
one
will
save
her
but
she
makes
her
peace
with
it."

Srijana
Mitra
Das
of
Times
Of
India
writes,
"A
beautifully
fragile
Shruti
Haasan
plays
a
prostitute
sheltering
Rudra.
Their
track
is
short
but
sensual,
a
little
lily-pool
of
beauty
in
an
otherwise
relentlessly
harsh
cinematography,
where
Karachi's
grey,
gritty
and
gunpowder-laced."
