In his review of the film, WION’s Achu Krishnan wrote that the film does not outdo its predecessor but is 'one that will forever be in its shadow.' 

Krishnan, however, adds, "That is not to say that the movie is terrible or boring, but it is a shame that it never lives up to its potential. This is particularly noticeable because there are things that work really well in the movie." Read the full review here
