However, as Ravi starts abusing her, their relationship starts to spoil. After suffering insults and harm, Ammu decides to discipline Ravi. To get revenge on Ravi, Ammu joins forces with Prabhu (Bobby Simha), a parolee from jail. 

The audience complimented Ammu. Some say the narrative is elevated by the key actors' performances and the story's unique approach. It has also been noted that the sequences showing domestic violence have been handled maturely and are not intended to stir up controversy.

One wrote, "Watched Tamil Version. Dubbing is not gud. Aishwarya Lekshmi’s Perf gud. Naveen Chandra is apt. Ammu convo with Mom & Begger scenes r gud. Bobby character has no depth. Nothing new, Outdated subject. Fairly Engaging. Screenplay Drags. AVERAGE!"
