Reception edit
Times of India wrote "The story has necessary elements for a 90s family drama, but the fact that we are currently two decades ahead makes it difficult for one to connect with the happenings in it. [..] The lack of detailing and inclusion of some outdated scenes are the major reasons why the film fails to impress".[7] Dinamalar gave the film a rating of two out of five.[8] Deccan Chronicle wrote that "The only bright spot in the film is the portions involving ace Malayalam actor Innocent".[9] Maalaimalar called the film "emotional".[10]
