Reception

A critic from The Times of India rated the film two out of five stars and wrote that "There are interesting moments in the film that are intriguing but are never delved into" and added that "It’s as if the makers were dead sure that they wanted to make a film that remained surface-level and didn’t go even a little deeper".^[10] A critic from Maalai Malar gave the film the same rating and wrote that "Most of the scenes with both the hero and the heroine are uninteresting. A weak screenplay is a weakness for the film".^[11]
