Reception

Sify called the film "nepotism of the worst kind", going to add that "director Lakshmi Priyan has dished out one of the most inept movies of the year". [3] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "The film is neither a Satyaraj flick, where one could have enjoyed his typical style of humour, nor is it a youthful film where Sibi could have come into his own", adding, "If anybody does leaves a mark it's Vadivelu, who valiantly tries to entertain with his brand of humour, not always succeeding".
