Reception

A critic from Deccan Chronicle wrote, "On the whole, debutant director Suresh Nair's low budget movie filled with endearing and engaging moments has managed to offer a wholesome entertainment that warms the cockles of your heart." [4] Onmanorama wrote, "The movie is the first directorial venture of Suresh Nair who is an actor. The screenplay is also handled by him but unfortunately it did turn out to be an unrewarding fare".
