K. Vijiyan of New Straits Times labelled the film as "fast-paced political tale",^[3] and Malini Mannath of The Indian Express described the film as "a fairly engrossing entertainer despite its flaws".^[4] R. P. R. of Kalki noted down that the story is similar to old films of Vijayakanth and the dialogues reminds of television serials while calling climax as a good joke. He however found Mohan Natrajan as the only likeable character from the entire film and concluded that since director Udayashankar is a debutant from D. F. T., he is spared with sympathy.^[5] The film failed at the box office.^[6]
