Critical reception

Indiaglitz wrote "It's Vijayakanth all the way who with his brainy and brawny ways restores order in the society". Behindwoods wrote "All in all, disappointing is too kind a word to use for this kind of a movie. It is hard to imagine what the director, actor and producer had in mind when the movie was made."
