Reception

A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express wrote, "This new-age thriller is for all kinds of audience but whether the plot will keep them on the edge of their seats is something for them to judge". ^[5] Shyam Prasad S of Bangalore Mirror wrote, "Panta could have been a good thriller. But the first half is drowsy. It is only in the second half that it takes on some character. There are a few nicely created roles. But many of the minor characters played by non-professional actors kills the thrills". ^[2]
