Reception
The Indian Express criticised Chandrasekhar's direction and also wrote "The only saving grace of this enormously clichéd film is that Chandrasekharan gives it an unexpected twist or two. But all this is washed away in a flood of cliches".[3] Jayamanmadhan (a duo) of Kalki wrote that there was no yawning from start to end, so they thanked Chandrasekhar.[4] Balumani of Anna praised acting, music, cinematography and noted the film's first half moves like a quiet stream and latter half goes swiftly but loses pace after Chandrasekar's character dies and panned the lengthy climax.[5]
