Sify stated, "It is Sibi Sathyaraj’s best ever performance and he is the glue that holds this film together. He delivers an intricate, nuanced performance that's hard to fault" and concluded that the film "deserves to be watched, especially for its masterful film-making. It is an intelligent edge-of-the-seat crime thriller". Haricharan Pudipeddi of Hindustan Times gave 3 out of 5 and stated, "Sathya, more or less, succeeds in what Kshanam did with the audience. It does you take you by surprise and the impact can be felt strongly if you’ve not seen the original". Anupama Subramanian of Deccan
