Reception

The Times of India wrote that "The makers tried to call this a medical and science fiction thriller. Though, it ends up being just an experimental good-versus-evil commercial drama".[7] The Hindu wrote that "Plus makes you wonder if storytelling is really that difficult".[8] Deccan Chronicle wrote that "After a recent 'senseless' movie, here is a 'mindless' one, and all credit goes to the director who has positively managed to showcase his talent of making the worst movie ever".[9]
