Thiragnani of Kalki praised the acting of star cast and concluded saying the film has a vibrancy that is not in the title.[6] Balumani of Anna praised the performances of cast and cinematography in song sequnces and found Krishna's dialogues as okay. He also felt the film resembled the previous films of Ganesan and would have worked had it been released few years ago and Sundarrajan's direction stamp is not visible in the film.[7]
