Critical reception

Navamani praised the acting of the cast, the humour and the dialogues.^[6] Kanthan of Kalki praised the performances of cast, humour and cinematography and noted since director Sankaran tried to do a full-length comedy film, the plot can be forgiven and though the film is not that worthy to appreciate, it becomes one amongst the list of films.^[7]
