The whole movie is shot in Chapali Heights as the name of the movie suggests and although the movie is said to be a suspense thriller, it lacks anything thrilling. The whole movie is predictable apart from the climax. The lead characters, who are all new faces in the industry has demonstrated their lack of acting skills. The movie cannot keep the audience interested for long and the only thing in the movie trying hard to catch the attention of the audiences is the bold kissing and love making scenes, which was too much publicized before the release of the movie itself.

Although the movie failed to meet the expectations of the viewers, he did a good business commercially due to its too much publicity beforehand. Apart from the climax and some of the scenes, the movie is not worth the watch.
