"Not everyone would be proud of their kids following their footsteps, especially parents belonging to the lower-middle class section of the society. They dream big, so that at least their kids don’t end up struggling, doing low-paying jobs like them. The film portrays this fact well, through the performances of its lead actors, Manju Warrier and Anaswara Rajan.", the Times of India wrote in their review. The film released along with Dileep starrer Ramaleela in India on 28 September 2017 and was a "hit" in box office. It received positive reviews from critics and audiences alike and won a large number of accolades. (en)
