Reception
editA critic from Cinema Express wrote that "It is only towards the end of the story that the story gains momentum and the characters communicate their woes. It is only then we get clarity about what is truly bugging them. How I wish that the makers had this clarity throughout the runtime".[4] A critic from Ananda Vikatan wrote that "the lackluster screenplay, the modest making and artificial acting combine to make this romance impossible to fall in love with".[5]
