Reception

A critic from Dinakaran noted "the one great highlight among all the plus points in the film is the excellent cinematography of Thangar Bachann! Especially the natural sceneries of Kerala and the songs' scenic backgrounds fill our eyes with aesthetic extravaganza!". D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "This is one Cupid's arrow that loses steam before reaching its target, so laborious is the narration of director, R. Balu". He added, "If the amount of care and attention the director has paid in selecting the locations to enact the drama as well as the song sequences had been bestowed on the story content the movie would have been something different, for the production values are rich like the cinematography of Thankar Bachchan". K. N. Vijiyan of New Sunday Times wrote, "If not for the numerous songs, this movie would have been even more enjoyable".
