The Hindu wrote "despite a hackneyed script and clichéd plot twists, the film is entertaining because it maintains a light tone throughout. At no point does it become over-dramatic and that, one must add, is a saving grace!".^[3] Chennai Online wrote "the film turns out to be a damp squib, with a meandering screenplay, inept handling, time factor that goes hay wire, and comedy that tries out your patience".^[4] Cinesouth wrote "After giving a comic label to the film, they try to tell a serious story that too without any logic at all. The final scenes are confusing and confounding. The audiences are driven to a tight corner, not knowing whether to laugh or weep".^[5]
