 But things do not progress in that direction", and adds that "the treatment lacks punch".The reviewers from Sify.com gave the film a negative review, adding "the film is very slow and one feels that the story is as old as the hills", adding that it is a "rehash of the director's earlier hits and is long winded and extremely slow paced mainly due to illogical story, songs pushed into the narrative and a jarring comedy track".The film went on to perform well at the box office, and did exceptional business in town and village theatres across Tamil Nadu.
