Reception

Indiaglitz wrote "The narration could have been taut and a bit more urgency could have brought into the proceedings. But Jayaprakash has shown some promise. But the room for improvement is still there.".^[6] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online opined that "But otherwise, there's not much going for the film with its hotch-potch situations and lacklustre narration. A couple of suggestive lines have been surreptitiously pushed in, and the sound picturisations too border more on the 'sizzling' than the aesthetic".^[7] A critic from BizHat wrote that "Director Jayaprakash should be applauded for his neat narration and not making the story into a typical love triangle with mistaken identities. But at times the film drags".^[8]
