ETimes Verdict
The film has also received encouraging reviews. ETimes praised Samantha's portrayal and wrote, "Samantha anchors the film with confidence and conviction. She moves comfortably between quieter emotional scenes and physically demanding action blocks, never allowing Swarna to become a one-note action heroine. There is toughness in the performance, but also fatigue, fear and vulnerability. Those shades make the character more compelling than the invincible protagonists often seen in the genre."
Our exclusive review also appreciated the supporting cast, stating, "Gulshan Devaiah proves to be an effective foil, bringing a simmering unpredictability to his role rather than opting for outright theatrics. Diganth Manchale, Gautami and Sreemukhi contribute meaningfully to the family dynamic that forms the emotional backbone of the story."
