Many people are happy to see Jayaram and Kalidas together in a warm, simple story after a long gap.ETimes review for the film says, “The film openly talks about nepotism and the ‘godfather culture’ in the film industry.” The funny part is that the actors are a real father and son. The review says this makes things a bit strange because the film tries to speak against nepotism but also uses the same setup. The review also says, “This self-awareness works against the film as Kalidas Jayaram’s (Ajeesh Hariharan) performance feels weak.”The review strongly points out that the female lead, played by Asha Sharath, does not get enough strong moments. The line says, “Portraying a frail, submissive housewife who exists solely to cater to the men in her life, her character lacks depth and agency.” The review adds that her constant positive attitude, even during money problems, feels too much and not real. A late strong dialogue for her does not fix the problem. The review clearly says, “Overall, the character feels disconnected from the reality of the modern woman.”
