Reception

The Indian Express wrote, "As both lovers belong to the upper class, the décor of the interiors is modish. G.OR. Nathan's photography accentuates this effect: the soft and diffuse lighting gives the film a classy texture". [7] Jayamanmadhan of Kalki gave the film a more mixed review. [8]
