OTTplay review of the film reads, “It is a brilliantly crafted sports drama that seamlessly weaves together personal rivalries, sportsmanship, and social issues.”
Speaking to OTTplay exclusively, the director of the film Tamizharasan said, ““There is a person back home who served as inspiration for Dinesh Anna’s character. He would be a bravado on the ground, but at home, he is the opposite and extremely silent. I began to write with these two characters, and after seeing a film like Ayyappanum Koshiyum, I was further intrigued to write two characters, create a world around them, and do a story.”
