Reception

The movie opened to positive critical reception

Sify wrote, "The film is a mass entertainer with good action, romance and songs and is shot at the beautiful locations of Gopichettipalayam."

Bizhat wrote, "Mammootty is there in every frame of the film and the role is tailor made for him. Abhirami is wasted and Manorama is ok. Radha Ravi as the villain father does his usual routine hamming. Vidayasagar has recycled his Dhill numbers. Since the film was made on a low budget, the sets and song sequences look tacky."
