While the film has received praise for its compelling storytelling and artistic quality, it has also sparked debate due to certain intimate scenes that some viewers have found controversial. These scenes, which include nudity and a love-making sequence, have caused a stir online, with searches for the "Divya Prabha original video link" going viral. Although these scenes were seen as integral to the narrative by the filmmakers, some critics have questioned their necessity within the film.
