Reception

A critic from DNA wrote that "Komal is entertaining and manages to carry the film on his shoulders. The many women in the film have bit roles, but each of them impresses, be it Bhavana as the wife, Mayuri as the boss, or Parvathy as the girlfriend".^[8] A critic from IANS gave the film a fraction of 2+1⁄2 out of 5 and wrote that "It is a Komal's film all the way as he tries to infuse laughs in every moment of the film. He once again proves his exceptional talent in essaying comedy oriented roles".^[9]
