Trivia

The film, meant for theatrical exhibition, was turned into a direct-to-video release as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic causing cinemas to be shut down all over. When the film's official streaming partner Disney+ Hotstar conducted a video conference to announce the digital premieres of several films including this one, it invited stars of many of those films to represent their respective works. Vidyut Jammwal expressed disappointment upon not being invited, with a tweet calling this "a long road ahead." His followers supported him, similarly criticizing Disney+ Hotstar for their decision.

User Reviews

Worth a watch.

Vidyut Jammwal excels in his role of a estranged husband. This movie offers him scope to have an emotional angle and he does supremely well. He has got great screen presence. Shivaleeka was apt for her small role. The cinematography is good, and the background score as well. The first half moves at a terrific pace, the pace drops a bit in the 2nd half. Overall the film deserves your time and everyone in the film deserve appreciation.
