Reception
D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, " is replete with emotional twists handled with taste and refinement by debutant director V. Gouthaman. The lead pair, Murali and Simran lend enough depth in their portrayals. The good pace the director works out in the first half through his screenplay". K. P. S. of Kalki called it an old fashioned love story but praised the acting of Murali and Simran, Deva's music and Thangar Bachan's cinematography.
