Reception

P. S. S. of Kalki felt Karthik looked disinterested and panned Senthamarai's villainy as repetitive, S. S. Chandran's comedy as vulgar but praised the performances of Nambiar, Nirosha, Sarala's comedy and Ilaiyaraaja's music and concluded instead of agonising over how things will turn out, if they decide that this is the way it will be, the people who watch the film will turn away with indifference.
