Critical reception

Sify wrote: "The film lacks logic or sense and rests purely on Satyaraj’s ‘lollu’ dialogues and his takes on Suriya’s Ghajini, S. J. Surya’s New, Simbu’s Manmathan and also pokes fun at stars joining politics". Chennai Online wrote "The director, who’s teaming up with Satyaraj had resulted in some enjoyable entertainers earlier, fails this time to balance the act between the two heroes. And so while there are all the ingredients that are supposed to spell entertainment, comedy, action, suspense and Namita, it just fails to generate any interest".
