Reception
Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "[..] it's not as if the film is all that bad. The early part is humorous, Ramarajan being quite comfortable in the lighter scenes. If only he had concentrated more on the script, than in merely thrusting lines with political overtones, the movie would have been better". Cinesouth wrote, "One can easily guess the way in which the scenes are strung together. The screenplay is out of control. There is dearth of comedy. The fans are ill at ease because of these surroundings. Director Ramarajan tests the patience of the audiences. There is no scope for any great performance of acting." Visual Dasan of Kalki wrote that even though Ramarajan's hard work is evident in both the dialogues and the screenplay, because of the old plot, they could not avoid the frequent yawns.
