Reception

Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India rated the film 1.5/5 stars and wrote, "The script, too, falls flat at most times. It is a mix of the friendship part of Kadhal Desam and the college rivalry and sports bit from Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, narrated at the pace of an 80s Malayalam art film. The climax could go down as one of the most ridiculous ones seen in 2016 in Sandalwood".^[6]
