Reception

A critic from The Hindu wrote that "The director tries to be different but he flip-flops as he goes about his job. Had he tightened the screenplay by chopping the inane comedy track and numerous stunts, the film would have been more interesting." [1] A critic from Idlebrain wrote that "Over all, the film falls little short of the threshold value and may not click at box office. But, you may watch it at your leisure." [2]
