post-release, critic balaji balasubramaniam wrote "a lead pair that is — to put it nicely — not easy on the eyes, wooden performances, a laughably bad script, cheap comedy and a climax that is lifted from "kadhalukku mariyadhai" (1997) are only some of the things that are wrong with this movie" and that "with some unbearable songs and song sequences and you have yourself the leading contender for the worst movie of the year".
