Mathrubhumi wrote that the film should be watched to know more about the amazing talent Clint and the film will haunt the audience as the face of Clint, with colour palette follows you. The vacuum created by Clint's death is unbearable and the film is special for the same reason.[10] Manorama said that it is the responsibility of audience to promote this small, but beautiful film with many touching scenes not to get drowned in the crowd of commercial potboilers.[11] Mangalam wrote that the director Harikumar has made a simple, emotional and believable film of an unusual life.[12]
