Critical reception
Jayamanmadhan (a duo) negatively reviewed the film for Kalki, panning Radhika's character's Tamil accent while also panning Senthil and Narasimhan's humour. The duo said the film is a must watch for people wanting to write a thesis on how to waste Radhika, Madhuri and Charan Raj's acting prowess while also finding the climax rushed.[8]
