[5] A critic from IANS wrote that "Within half-an-hour of viewing, it becomes clear that one has two more hours of torturous narration and a badly handled illogical story". [6] A critic from Filmibeat wrote that "The movie is clear witness for weak narration with no interesting story. The audience feel irritated by the narration and illogical story line". [7]
