Critical reception

Sify wrote: "The film lacks logic or sense and rests purely on Satyaraj’s ‘lollu’ dialogues and his takes on Suriya’s Ghajini , S. J. Surya’s New , Simbu’s Manmathan and also pokes fun at stars joining politics". [2] Thiraipadam wrote:"Completely illogical, unfunny and boring". [3]
