K. Vijiyan of New Straits Times wrote, "It is becoming common to see Kovai Sarala and Vadivelu belting each other to make the audience laugh. I prefer the subtle humour of S.V. Sekhar and his magnificent play on words". He added, "Roja, Urvasi and Kovai Sarala are dynamoes of energy and they match the heroes well".[5] Chennai Online wrote "This is director Rama Narayanan’s 100th film and he has stayed true to his form. One can never accuse him of inconsistency. He has been a very consistent director all along. Consistently giving films that are no great shakes in the story department, a narrative style that could have done with some finesse and a star cast that one would not swoon over. This film too falls into the same pattern".[6] Mahendran won the Dinakaran Cinema Award for Best Child Artiste.[7]
