Reception
Neelima Menon of The News Minute called the film Shyamaprasad's "most unassuming work till date, with a short film tone, frames stark and ordinary and actors fresh and raw." CS Venkiteswaran of Film Companion wrote: "What makes viewing this film a riveting experience is the way in which the narrative meanders and weaves together events happening in one single day–A Sunday–in the life of two couples, all of them in love with someone outside marriage."
