Reception

[edit]

Jayamanmadhan of Kalki praised the performances of Rajesh, Sathyaraj and the film's message but felt the film was dragged in second half and concluded it felt like a series that was supposed to end in ten weeks but dragged for 17–18 weeks.[3] According to Rajesh, the film failed because of the characterisation of his character.[4]
