Reception
S. R. Ashok Kumar of The Hindu wrote that "Both Sathyaraj and Sibi have shown that they at home in both pathos and action sequences".[4] Indiaglitz.com stating that the film was "more dusty than being earthy".[2] News Today wrote "One steps out with a feel of having had a face-to-face with an old Mannin Maindhan, one not in tune with the latest trend in the film world".[5]
