Krishnasamy of The Indian Express wrote, "Its partly a sermon, partly a feekless pack-up, mostly a letdown".[7] Jayamanmadhan of Kalki in regards to Prabhu's performance felt he only had a cameo and added if he acts in more films like this, fans will forget him and felt Rajender's music was forgettable and concluded for a film which claims to reform student community will only make students gets addicted to bad vices.[8]
