Reception

The New Indian Express wrote that "The director has maintained an even paced narration. But it's juvenile comedy at most times, and targeted at the lowest denominator in the audience".^[3] A critic from Kungumam praised Charan and the director's efforts.^[4] On the contrary, a critic from Dinamalar criticised the film as a whole.^[5]
