Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

Indiaglitz wrote: "Sakthi Chidambaram has used the concept of cloning well to suit the commercial needs of the movie. Sakthi has narrated the tale of motherly sentiment laced with all commercial elements."[3] Sify criticized the film and asked "what the actor and his director was trying to convey through this film — a bit of sleaze and fun or steamy mother sentiments?"[4][5]
