Reception
[edit]A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "Off-beat, bold and unconventional in its theme and execution, the film with its tagline ‘Red is Not a Colour’, could be a watchable fare for a viewer satiated with routine formula flicks".[6] A critic from iFlicks wrote that "Overall, the film is watchable for its unconventional take on a theme that many film-makers fail to acknowledge".[7]
