ETimes review
We gave the film a rating of 3.5 star out of 5. Our review reads, “The work that Prithviraj and Murali Gopi have put into developing the story is visible and impressive in the first half. But we miss the nous, that some of our Malayalam political thrillers of the 80s and 90s had. Also, a mass entertainer needs massy dialogues; this is a big miss in the movie. Deepak Dev’s music perfectly matches the brilliantly visualised scenes; we get involved Khureshi’s quests and get a feel for the mood, thanks to this. Sujith Vasudev’s camerawork balances the fast and mellow scenes superbly throughout. The actors, including Mohanlal and Manju Warrier, come across as a bit restrained. Maybe we would like to see a bit more bombast in a mass entertainer.”
