Reception
Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote that "For, not much thought seems to have gone into the working of the script or its narrative style. Added to that, the director seems undecided whether his film should be a comedy or a serious cop-robber film. So it shuttles between the two, at times being unintentionally funny".
