A critic from Sify opined that "Now after a break, he [Agathiyan] is back with Ramakrishna with an all new star cast set against a village milieu which just does not live up to his earlier works". [1] A critic from Behindwoods wrote "In overall, the film has a strong story line, screenplay and some double meaning dialogues for some added entertainment, in a typical Agathian style, who is the director of this movie".
