Malini Mannath, a critic from Chennai Online, wrote "it's a more painful one for the audience to sit through it" and that "it's like the director had somewhere along the way lost track of his script and given up on his film". [5] A reviewer from Cinesouth wrote "there was nothing worth mentioning" and that "except for a few rare scenes, none are worth mentioning and director Ram Prabha is indeed lucky to have got a producer".
