ETimes review of the film reads "Deepak Dev's soundtrack perfectly complements the stunningly rendered scenes; we are immersed in Khureshi's adventures and experience the mood due to this. Sujith Vasudev's camerawork combines the quick and slow scenes perfectly throughout. The actors, like Mohanlal And Manju Warrier, appear as somewhat sluggish.
