Even among mixed reviews, one aspect that consistently received praise was Ravi Basrur’s background score. Audiences felt the music elevated several action sequences and added intensity to the overall atmosphere of the film.
Fans highlighted the spine-chilling action blocks and appreciated how the soundtrack maintained tension throughout key moments. Some viewers even stated that the film became more engaging towards the latter half because of the combination of action and background music.
However, not everyone was fully convinced by the execution. A few moviegoers felt the film leaned too much on slow-motion visuals and loud sound design instead of building emotional depth or originality in storytelling.
