Critical reception
editNavamani praised the acting of cast, humour and dialogues.[6] Kanthan of Kalki praised the performances of cast, humour and cinematography and noted since director Sankaran tried to do a full-length comedy film, the plot can be forgiven and film is not that worthy to appreciate, it becomes one amongst the list of films.[7]
