Music is not worth a mention at all and the camerawork needs a lot of improvement. You could watch the movie once" Manju Shettar from

wrote "Meanwhile, a group of youngsters get killed in peculiar circumstances. The climax is how Viswas succeeds in arresting the culprit behind the killings. Had Adarsha selected a few experienced artistes, the film would have been a lot better".
