Reception[edit | edit source]
Sify wrote "The film does not have a coherent script, logic and lacks focus. It is another 'Made in Madurai' bloodbath that's etched from various earlier movies and a bit from Fernando Meirelles's classic 'City of God'".[3] Times of India wrote "Periyasamy, who had showed some promise in his earlier outing ‘Oru kalooriyin kathai’, is clearly in the grip of the good-at-heart village boys ending up in a mess-street plot. Nothing original, nothing closely resembling out-of- the-box thinking, but a faithful adherence to the way Madurai-belt films pan out."[4]
