The movie was criticized for featuring a dialogue "Nobody will wish to commit a mistake. But after committing a mistake, they'll surely wish to be rescued." and claimed that it is stated in Thirukkural.[6] This dialogue faced many criticisms from Tamil youtubers since there is no such Kural stating the same and that it was purposefully added to the script to defame the classic work by Tamils.
