Reception
[edit]Navein Darshan of Cinema Express wrote, "the film shows no traces of fantasy or comedy till the halfway point, and though there are some laughs post interval, it's not enough to redeem it".[5] Samayam gave the film a more positive review, rating it 3 stars out of 5.[6] Ananda Vikatan wrote that, had the screenplay been well crafted and avoided the usual Tamil clichés, it would have been more entertaining.[7]
