Reception

edit

A critic from Dinamalar wrote that "The confusions faced by debutant director Vinod Raghav are visible throughout the film. 'Every scene clearly shows that the director listened to all the talk about how the film won't work out and still took the film without believing in his story'".[4] A critic from Behindwoods rated the film zero out of five stars and wrote that "Overall, director Vinod, despite having a few experts in hand, has come up with a dull product".[5]
