Social media reactions
The film has been receiving decent reviews across social media platforms. One user wrote, "This film is the kind of cinematic experience that reminds you how powerful storytelling can be when every department works in perfect harmony. Set in the tension-filled atmosphere of 1991 Ramanathapuram during the Gulf War, it doesn't rely solely on its premise to impress; it builds a world that feels raw, lived-in, and emotionally suffocating in the best way possible. At the center of it all, Dhanush delivers a performance that feels almost too real."
Another social media user shared, "Set in 1991 Ramanathapuram during the Gulf War, it uses its historical backdrop not as decoration, but as a constant pressure weighing on the characters, especially Karasamy, a man caught between the ghosts of his past and the fragile present he's trying to protect."
