Reception

The Times of India wrote, "Director Sharran Kumar wants us to take this material seriously and tries to break the events into chapters and gives voice-overs about how there is a face behind every mask and a story behind each face, to make us believe there is more to the film that meets the eye. But unfortunately, such a gimmick only smacks of pretentiousness given how uninvolving the scenes are. The film actually has to become a completely different genre film to keep us engaged."[7]
