Reception

Jayamanmadhan of Kalki felt that Rajeev's acting of keeping straight face till the end was a new lesson he taught to the audience and also added Padmini, Nambiar, Manorama did not have proper roles and concluded that since it is directed by legendary director K. Shankar so only old glory can be told now otherwise nothing special.^[4]
