Critical reception

The Times of India gave the film a rating of one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "It is terribly juvenile, with an interesting (on paper, that is) one-line plot that is stretched far enough to make even mozzarella blush, and at nearly two hours, it is a supreme test of patience". [3] The Hindu wrote that "From the acting to the music, it’s all reminiscent of soaps aired by regional TV channels". [4] Deccan Chronicle gave the film a rating of one out of five stars and wrote that "The plot is interesting, but its amateurish treatment by newbie Aditya Bhaskar is a major downer". [5] A critic from Maalai Malar praised the cinematography and songs. [6] The film was also reviewed by Samayam and The New Indian Express . [7] [8]
