Sify said, "This love story has the Suryah stamp of humour and is sure to satisfy his fans, who enjoy his smutty comedies".[12] The Hindu wrote, "That Suryah is honing his skills as an actor, is evident. The increasing spontaneity in his expressions is heartening. But it is hard to swallow the contrived emotions when he tries to fool the heroine's people".[13] Lajjavathi of Kalki wrote the director has given a film by mixing vulgarity and message together however found the screenplay without any confusion but felt it would have been a film for everyone if it had removed the embarrassing lines and scenes.[14] Cinesouth wrote "If we thought that this was not S.J.Suryah’s film, but Tamilvanan’s, we were thoroughly disappointed".[15]
