Reception
Navamani praised the acting of star cast and Amirtham's cinematography and concluded saying Thirumalai–Mahalingam have directed the film briskly with entertaining elements. Kanthan of Kalki praised the acting of star cast and found Narayanan's dialogues as okay but panned the plot and concluded despite dragging the film with fights and cabaret dances, Thirumalai–Mahalingam's direction goes without problem.
