Critical reception

Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "The director's half-hearted attempts at lacing his narration with comedy scenes proves futile, their not quite fitting into his narration. Where he scores is in his song picturisation. The dance numbers are attractively shot, canned by Ratnavelu's camera, which throughout gives a rich glossy look to the frames". [4] Visual Dasan of Kalki found Rathnavelu's cinematography as the film's only positive. [5]
