The Hindu described it as a repetitive narrative, questioning the purpose of its "take two" approach and suggesting that it failed to offer a compelling resolution or fresh perspective.^[6] In contrast, The New Indian Express praised its romantic elements, calling it a "sizzling summer romance" that carried an emotional appeal despite its complexities.^[7] Prajavani offered a more neutral take, acknowledging the film’s attempt to blend romance with Guruprasad’s signature satirical style, though it noted that the execution left some viewers wanting more coherence.^[8] The Times of India gave it a moderate rating of 3 out of 5, appreciating the performances and emotional depth but criticizing its convoluted plot and lack of narrative clarity.^[9]
