Reception Sreejith Mullapilly of The New Indian Express rated the series 1.5/5 stars, stating it "stereotypes Kasaragod and its people" and fails to immerse the audience in its world. While noting the novelty of a series about the fake passport business, Mullappilly found the execution "way off the mark" and noted that most of the cast appeared "way out of their depth" due to one-note writing.
Sreeju Sudhakaran of Rediff.com was highly critical, describing the show as "ineptly put-together" with "nothing redeemable." Sudhakaran criticized the weak writing and amateurish execution, noting that the series felt like a "poorly made YouTube sketch" that lacked the storytelling depth and technical proficiency seen in similar genre works like The Chronicles of the 4.5 Gang.
