Critical reception
Thiraignani of Kalki praised the acting of Saritha and Rajiv while also praising Rajender who despite handling many departments has also acted in the film and concluded advising Rajender to put a curb on the desire to say everything he thinks on the screen, sir, because since that desire is overflowing in this film, it gives a feeling as if the film is going in slow motion.[7]
