Reception

S. R. Ashok Kumar of The Hindu wrote that "Both Sathyaraj and Sibi have shown that they at home in both pathos and action sequences". News Today wrote "One steps out with a feel of having had a face-to-face with an old Mannin Maindhan, one not in tune with the latest trend in the film world". Cinesouth wrote "Rama Narayanan's courage is to be appreciated for making a film based on age-old village story, same kind of enmity between village big wigs, Panchyath under Banyan tree, etc., even in this modern world, in which even LKG children handle the computer with ease". Chennai Online wrote "It's an old story line, and those who've seen the director's earlier films will find his style repeated here too. He is not much bothered about setting pace with the changing trends and technology. Incidentally, this is his 112th directorial venture. There's nothing much to look forward to here!".
