WION's film critic Shomini Sen writes, The film takes time to establish itself. The first half-hour of the film is spent introducing the various plot characters. While the remake sticks mostly to the original template, some scenes are added additionally, perhaps to suit the Hindi-speaking audience. I honestly did not find the first half of the film engaging, nor did I feel too invested in the story. But in the second half, the film truly shines. The writing is far more effective when the pace of the story picks up, making it a deeply engaging narrative where you don't want to miss even the minutest details lest you miss out on an important clue.
