Reception

Jayamanmadhan (a duo) of Kalki felt Goundamani's decision to act as lead actor was both gutsy and wrong calculation and he completely looked lost in emotional and romantic scenes. Jayamanmadhan was critical of the film's cinematography wondering whether the issue is with the camera or the film and dismissed Shankar–Ganesh's music as loud while concluding that S. Ve. Sekhar and Rajeev were underutilised.^[4]
