Reception[edit]

S. R. Ashok Kumar of The Hindu wrote that "If the director had bothered to join the loose ends, a reasonably good film would have emerged".[4] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "The film at the most is a promising effort from a first-time, director-hero team".[5] Kollywood Today wrote, "the film had made the flight successfully without any interpret".[6] Chitra of Kalki wrote it would have survived if it had been made into a full-length comedy. Love seems like main point but screenplay suddenly shifts to mother sentiment. It looks like as if something going to happen but ends up meh calling the climax uncompelling.[7]
