Reception
D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu praised Ravi's direction and said Karthik, "with his inimitable style of halting delivery, makes fine use of the part, his evasive tactics and lies being rich like his costume".[6] Ji of Kalki praised Karthik's performance, climax humour, songs but panned the background score and felt the director who tried to surprise by hinting towards a different end falls into routine logicless pit.[10] K. N. Vijiyan of New Straits Times praised Karthik's performance, Ravi's direction, the cinematography and art direction.[11]
