“Lakshmy's intentions are good but her final product is not up to the mark.”Read full review ↗
“...provides a rather pleasant journey with very few speed breakers. The problem is that neither the drama soaks us in completely nor the suspense angle, that despite being maintained throughout, brings us to the edge.”Read full review ↗

“This attempt by Lakshmi Ramakrishnan is highly commendable. She tries to bring several stories together. Watch the film for its run-of-the-mill theme, and if you're a fan of a road film.”Read full review ↗
