ABP Live's review of the film reads, "Vanga tries to take us to a time when men were the community's protectors and providers. He offers an exaggerated portrayal of what it means to express love to defend the deeds of his character. Presumably, he is lambasting the movies of this era that redefine the ideal man's persona by making him less toxic and more poignant. The film's violence makes your skin crawl, but you can get over it since the director conveys how the people live in a world where there is no norm and the game is played that way. That being said, this time around, the abuse and disrespect for women that was brought out in his previous movies has intensified."
