ETimes Review
ETimes gave the film 3 stars out of 5, with the review stating: "Jeethu Joseph attempts to explore guilt, paranoia, and psychological exhaustion more than suspense this time. The focus is not entirely on investigation or survival, but on how violence silently continues to exist inside relationships, memory, and everyday life. Georgekutty's greatest punishment is not prison, but the inability to live without fear."
The review also noted: "At the same time, the film exposes and, to an extent, glorifies how cinema and society romanticise antiheroes. Georgekutty is projected not as a criminal, but as a common man who transforms into a 'superhero' through intelligence and survival instinct. That emotional packaging becomes socially problematic. Audiences continue to justify violence, manipulation, and crime because they are committed in the name of family protection."
