ETimes gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 for the fantasy film and our review reads, “From dialogues to dubbing choices—especially the Malayalam accent for some characters—would make one wonder about how informed these choices were. Half of the cast could have easily been chosen from the ample talent in Malayalam cinema, and a bit more effort could have been invested in casting the Europeans. When the African-origin occultist tries to be mysterious, it almost looks like a blooper that made it into the film. The hand movements, actions, etc., seemed so out of place and comical to an extent. There is definitely tons of effort put into the film, be it CGI, cinematography, art, songs, etc. However, whether it is enough for the film to click with the audience is a big question.”
