The reviewer for Screen called the film a "rib-tickling comedy besides being an action feast" and that it "consists of a rare subject that is refreshing and fits the prominent stars." Before concluding that it was a "movie worth watching", the reviewer wrote, "While Ravichandran deserves full credit for making this a wholesome entertainer, it is Shivrajkumar who steals the show with wonderful emotional performance. The team of Mohan, Sadhu Kokila, Mandip Rai and Mandya Ramesh sends the audience in peels of laughter in the theatre." [2]
