[2] Indiaglitz gave 2.75 out of 5 and stated, "Vijay Milton has photographed, written and directed the film keeping it engaging and entertaining in most parts.

[4] Ashameera Aiyappan of The Indian Express gave 2 out of 5 and said, "Post interval, the movie moves in a predictable manner with forced hard to believe over-the-top action sequences" .
