Despite its positives, the film was heavily criticized for its weak screenplay. The plot was described as "wafer-thin" and "predictable". noted the "unwarranted melodrama and superficial sequences" that impacted the narrative's flow. The female characters, played by Zoya Hussain and Shriya Pilgaonkar, were branded as poorly written and lacking substance. Furthermore, several reviews pointed out a cultural disconnect; the film, though set in Tamil Nadu, featured North Indian aesthetics like police uniforms, which alienated the intended audience.
