The Indian Express wrote, "Its an elaborately worked out formula film, with ample opportunity for Sathyaraj to swagger around in his informal manner".[4] Sundarji of Kalki wrote that the screenplay was filled with twists, but wondered if such a film needed some kind of thrill and horror, and they could not find it anywhere in the film.[5]
