Reception
Malini Mannath of The Indian Express said, "Thanks to [Jayaram] and Khushbu who have not overacted, the scenes are tolerable. The film drags itself towards the end".4 P. S. S. of Kalki wrote the issue is not new, the story is also not new, the new is present only in the title, and with such a flimsy plot, it is needlessly dragged and the end of the day we feel bored.5
