Reception

Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote, "In an effort to appease the masses and the minuscule class that craves for meaningful cinema, Jayabharathy's film ends up being neither here nor there". [3] Chennai Online wrote, "The story begins in an interesting manner but then deteriorates". [4] BizHat wrote, "Director could have concentrated on the story more. He has tried to highlight the terrorism, and world peace on the screen but, he hasn't achieved it due to the unreal screenplay". [5]
