Reception
Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "A slick narrative style, some well-rendered, melodious songs (composed by Adithyan), and a creditable performance from Livingston and Lakshmi set this film apart from a routine ‘ghost story.‘ But it is no edge-of-the-seat thriller that makes one’s heart beat faster and gives one a jolt now and then".
