==Critical reception==
M. Suganth of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote, "You could also call it [[Mundasupatti]]-meets-[[Rajathandhiram]] and you wouldn't be wrong as like that crime caper, it also about a gold heist that involves an elaborate set-up and planning. But the filmmaking is more [[Mundasupatti]], with noticeable rough edges that keep reminding us that this is a first-timer's film and lacks the sophistication (it is an exposition-filled film) of both [[Soodhu Kavvum]] and [[Rajathandhiram]]."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/144/movie-review/49957290.cms|title=144 Movie Review {3.5/5}: Critic Review of 144 by Times of India|accessdate=5 December 2018|website=The Times of India}}</ref> Baradwaj Rangan of the Hindu called it "A shaky start, but lots of laughs later
