Aditya Vardhan of Rediff.com gave the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote, "Though there is nothing new about the story, there is a flow in the narration which makes the flick watchable".[4] Regarding the Tamil dubbed version, Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "Its racy narration, the adrenalin-flowing action scenes, and the fiery lines keep you engaged without a boring moment".[2] Another critic from Sify wrote, "On the whole, Rajasekhar and director Viveka Bharati [V. Samudra, Jeevitha] has packaged it as a mass masala entertainer with all essential ingredients like fights, sentiments and glamour in the right mix".[1]
