Reception

A critic from Idlebrain.com wrote that "First half of the film is decent and second half is a bit slow. The plus points of the film are Sivaji, music and decent handling of subject. The minus point is the oft repeated story".^[3] A critic from Indiaglitz wrote that "Mr and Mrs Krishnamurthi is by no means a perfect couple. But they are also not bad enough to call for a divorce".^[4]
