Reception
editThe film was released theatrically worldwide on 10 March 2023.[4][5] The film received negative reviews from critics. Logesh Balachandran critic from The Times of India gave 1.5 stars out of 5 stars and noted that "Memories, an experience we wish to erase from our memory".[6] Avinash Ramachandran of Cinema Express felt "film ends up being a largely forgettable experience despite having a fantastical premise at the core of it all".[7]
A critic from Maalai Malar gave 2.75 stars out of 5 stars and wrote "Director Sam and Praveen has directed the film with the same concept of memory erasing and memory inserting. Kudos to him for his new venture."[8] A critic from Dina Thanthi noted that "Directors Shyam and Praveen make the psycho-thriller story with a lively screenplay without boring the idea of erasing one's memory and replacing it with another."[9]
