Theatrical response and ETimes review
The film received mixed to underwhelming responses during its theatrical run.ETimes only gave the film a rating of 2 stars out of 5 and our review read, “Director Praveen Saravanan keeps things moving at a reasonable pace, which at least means the film doesn’t overstay its welcome at just under two hours. The script still runs on a single idea with no escalation and no real stakes, so the reasonable pace just gets you to the end faster. The comedy operates in the narrowest possible lane: will Karthik get caught? He does. Then he doesn’t. Then he almost does again. That’s the whole film.”Our exclusive review added, “It’s the kind of movie that feels like it started as a weekend project and got finished out of obligation rather than conviction. Painless if you’re in the room. Gone by the time you leave it.”
