K. N. Vijiyan of New Straits Times wrote, "If you fancy a family-oriented, old-fashioned story, with a touch of humour, then go for this one". [4] T. Krithika Reddy of The Hindu wrote, "THE THEME has been done to death on celluloid. Yet director Sundar. C's sensitive touches invest the film with freshness". [5] Chennai Online wrote "Satyaraj never gets tired of playing the same 'Strapping youth-falling-in-love' type of roles. Roja plays the haughty miss to the hilt. Radharavi gets a meaty role and makes the most of it. Sujatha, sidelined for the past few years, gets a role that gives her a lot of scope to emote and she does a fine job. And as for Goundamani, his shouting (read it as comedy) could have been heard across states". [6]
