Reception edit
Malini Mannath of The Indian Express wrote, "the direction by K. S. Ravikumar is smooth [..] and the situations are imaginatively handled."[4] Supraja Sridharan of Kalki praised the performances of cast and concluded K. S. Ravikumar who made us laugh for two and half hours could have avoided double meaning dialogues at certain places.[5]
