Reception
Jayamanmadhan (a duo) of Kalki felt there were too many plots to recall and that Sivakumar's role and performance as nothing to speak about. The duo also felt Y. G. Mahendra, Moorthy and Sangili Murugan as antagonists looked more like sacrificial lambs than menacing.[5] Balumani of Anna praised acting, music, cinematography.[6]
