ETimes review for the film reads, “The second half is where the film takes the audience on a nostalgic ride. There is plenty of creative liberty taken by the writer, bringing in Kaathodu Kathoram elements into the film, creating an alternate history in a sense. As much as seeing a young Mammootty on screen is appreciated, a little less fanboyism would have helped to stick to the levity of the plot. The recreation of the sets in the 80s was done well. Interlinking the story with instances from old films has worked, too. At least it didn’t feel out of place. Ramu Sunil, who is also the writer, and John Manthrickal have made a screenplay that’s engaging and subtle enough. However, the dialogues were a little off in some places. It is very rare for a Malayalam film to explore problematic relationships where people mutually equip each other’s toxicity, even if it’s just touched upon.”
