Reception
[edit]Murali Krishna CH of The New Indian Express gave the film a rating of 2.5/5 and wrote, "Sebastian PC 524 settles for being an average, half-hearted drama, despite having a promising story. Had Balaji Sayyapureddy invested equal efforts in the screenplay, the film would have been a memorable outing".[7] Thadhagath Pathi of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 2/5 and wrote, "The story of Sebastian PC 524 has scope for so much more but the makers seem to hardly try. Even the short duration of the film feels long – and that says it all".[8] Y. Sunita Chowdhary of The Hindu stated, "A crime comedy following a constable with night blindness, suffers from poor narration".[9]
