== Reception ==<br />
A critic from ''[[Dinamalar]]'' wrote that the confusions faced by debutant director Vinod Raghav are visible throughout the film. Every scene clearly shows that the director listened to all the talk about how the film won't work out and still took the film without believing in his story.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://m.dinamalar.com/vimar-detail-amp.php?id=830|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240311180326/https://m.dinamalar.com/vimar-detail-amp.php?id=830|url-status=dead|archive-date=11 March 2024|title=கை|date=4 December 2012|language=ta|work=[[Dinamalar]]|trans-title=Kai|access-date=12 March 2024}}</ref><br />
