"the times of india" gave it 2.5 stars and wrote, "lakshman karya falters a bit with his screenplay in parts, inserting unwanted sequences that don’t move the story forward in any manner. nor does he deliver a satisfying enough conclusion for akshara to suddenly realise her folly. however, he must be lauded for attempting to deliver something more than usual gloss. shaktikath karthik is a delight, with his music not blocking the flow of the film in any manner, s thaman’s bgm’s on the other hand falters in certain scenes."
