Critical reception

Malini Mannath of ''Chennai Online'' noted that "Manibharathi crafts the screenplay in an interesting way. Most of the movie is a flashback and the scenes that launch the flashbacks are mounted in a way that makes us interested in how the flashback is going to play out." ''BizHat'' wrote, "The director has created the characters with utmost care which makes the film interesting. While the half moves interestingly, the second half lacks pace".
