Reception[edit]

The Times of India wrote in its review "The comedy dialogues are quite tacky and unentertaining, that one can’t believe the talented team behind it, who specialise in humour, couldn’t forsee their impact on screen"[8]

The New Indian Express reviewed that "Asokan somehow manages to keep things moving, and, if anything, he proves that he is a fairly skilled director. He has only begun, and one expects he’ll get better with his next directorial" and went on to say "Though it’s not the sort of film that sticks with you, an ample amount of fun can be had if you’ve got the patience for it."[9]
