Reception
'khonjel.org' wrote, "Bala is the centre of this story. Her presentation is really nice. However, when it comes to personify an officer, she needs to work out a bit more. I will rate this movie 6.3 out of 10. This movie encourages the viewers to dream big. It also shows the present scenario of Manipur law and order dilemma."
