Reception
Ram Venkat Srikar of Cinema Express rated the film 2/5 and termed it an "emotionally hollow drama." Srikar added that, "It is earnest story with a lot of heart buried somewhere under the cliches. Sashi aspires to endow us with an emotional viewing experience but settles for monotony and leaves us indifferent.

The Times of India critic Thadhagath Pathi also rated the film 2 stars of five, stating that it was dull love story which lacked in originality. A reviewer from Eenadu opined that the film had a routine story and screenplay but appreciated the performances of Aadi and Surbhi.
