Reception[edit | edit source]

M. Suganth of The Times of India opined that "We get a longwinded lecture on being human and helping others and for a moment, we think we are not in a movie theatre but in a seminar hall".[5] Baradwaj Rangan wrote for The Hindu that "The characters are underdeveloped. The scenes have no punch. There’s not one believable moment".[6] A critic from Maalai Malar called the film different.[7] Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express wrote, "With a screenplay that is loosely etched, incidents lacking any depth and jumpy narration, there are hardly any scenes to keep you hooked".[8]
