A critic from The Times of India noted that "Karthik Phalani's visuals help set the eerie mood" whilst a critic from The Hindu stated how "The filmmaker, however, revelation in terms of his visual sense. Two shots come to mind that are beautifully imagined and shot".[3][4] His next film was the Kannada film French Biriyani (2020).
