Critical reception
Pavithra Srinivasan from Rediff.com wrote that "Moscowin Kaveri looks good. But that's about all that can be said about it".[8] Sify wrote, "It has no basic framework of cinema. The film is tackily executed and suffers from lack of a script, no cohesion between scenes making the viewers squirm in their seats".[9] The film was also reviewed by Mythily Ramachandran for Nowrunning.[10]
