==Reception==
A reviewer wrote, "The only thing which is laudable in this movie is the bold attempt made by debutants" and added, "Heroine Shivani has performed well in a limited scope. Music by Sunil Indirajith is laudable".<ref name="review1"/> Malini Mannath said, "Suresh Raja may be a far cry from the typical hero-mould. But he performs his scenes with understanding, and like a seasoned actor. Shivani fits in as the coy Thenmozhi" and called it "a promising work from a debutant director".<ref name="review2"/>
