Reception

Indiaglitz wrote "Lengthy dialogues and needless stunts make the watching even more tedious."^[5] Thiraipadam wrote "With almost no story to speak of, a disjointed screenplay, inane characterization and overacting by almost all the main performers, this one easily wrests the crown [sic] for the most inept movie with a policeman as hero, in recent times."^[6] Chennai Online wrote "The weak script, inane charecterisation and the director being totally like a fish out of water in the milieu he's chosen, have all taken their toll on Satyaraj's performance too."^[7]
