Reception

A critic from Indiaglitz opined that "Anbu has taken a serious theme and has laced it with glamour which sometimes takes the focus away from the movie. Nevertheless, the performance of the artistes call for appreciation and the director is to be lauded for the same". Malini Mannath of Chennai Online opined that "The film opens with the shot of a woman cutting a solitary figure on a hillock near the waters, as she looks out into the beyond. The film ends there too. A very aesthetically taken shot. Wish the rest of the film's sensibility matched with it!".
