Reception

Sify wrote "Ravichandran sleepwalks through the movie while it is Prema who steals the thunder. She has done a good job inspite (sic) of looking extremely beautiful. Mandya Ramesh also is good in the comedy track. But however it is the music in the film (which is a clean lift from the original sound track) which is the highlight". [2]
