Reception
'Times of India' wrote "On the whole, the film, which is competently shot, might seem mildly interesting for those who haven't seen its Hollywood inspirations, but even then, it is a trip that needs to be taken with caution." 'Behindwoods' wrote "Trip heavily misses out on engagement, but debut director Dennis Manjunath's uninhibited style of storytelling is fresh." 'Sify' called it "a below average forest-based thriller".
