The social media and online media also gave thumbs up to the film and said it is a ‘Well constructed movie' and gave the movie 3.5/4 stars."

The producer said, The main thing is to analyze audience reactions and discuss the value of audience research. We asked the audience to vote the film on its entertainment, script, screenplay, dialogue, music, drama and thrill elements. Many of them said the movie is a reflection of true to life family moments on screen.

He added, "Overall, we found they liked the concept and termed it as unusual yet thoroughly enjoyable with lot of entertainment quotient. It is a true family-thriller and the lead stars Venkatesh, Meena, Nadia and all the supporting stars exceeded the expectations. The music too was good to ears and perfectly blended with the storyline."
