Reception

Sify gave the film a negative review and wrote that "Rohith has worked on his emotions, dance and fights but has a long way to go while Jana Priya looks pretty. Yogendran and Radha Ravi are ok while Vadivelu?s comedy is good. Jawahar?s second attempt at direction is not impressive and the film is missable". Chennai Online wrote that "So one does not go with any great expectations to view the film and if it turns out to be an also-ran, it's just what one expected".
