Reception
Sify.com wrote "It may not have the kind of finesse or the brilliance that is seen in many of the well-taken mystery thrillers, but still this one can easily be classified as a watchable fare. Go without much expectation and chances are that you may find it enjoyable". Paresh C Palicha from Rediff.com wrote "Suresh Gopi appears sincere in the couple of scenes he is allotted, as if he is carrying the film on his shoulders. Vani Vishvanath gets a big chunk of screen-time and she devours it. Babu Raj is good as the bad guy, the subordinate of Vani Vishvanath. However, the final verdict is that this Black Dahlia withers away before it can even blossom".
