Critical reception

Thiraignani of Kalki praised the performance of Delhi Ganesh, Chakravarthy and praised Muraliraj's music but felt Usha Rajendar's performance did not stay in the mind and concluded questioning the director if you try to put a withered rose on your head, who will accept it.^[6] Balumani of Anna praised the acting of the cast, lyrics, music and direction.^[7]
