What Netizens Are Saying

Reactions have ranged from lukewarm to outright disappointed. One viewer called it a familiar revenge story, praising Murali Gopy’s performance as the film’s standout while noting that despite being a mass entertainer, the pacing felt slower than expected. Another user was far harsher, rating it 0/5 and advising others to skip it entirely. A third take was more balanced — appreciating Shaji Kailas’s signature visual style, the action sequences, and Joju George’s screen presence, while wishing for more emotional depth and stronger twists in an otherwise straightforward plot.
