Release and response

The film was released on 15 September 2011. Upon release the film received negative response from critics.[4] Haveeru Daily felt the film "deceived" the audience in the name of action thriller; "I highly doubt if the project team was even sure of what kind of movie they were planning to make. It is a total mess between a serious action movie and scoop comedy".[4] The film was further criticized for remaking several shots from Jim Abrahams's parody film, Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993).[2]
