Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "For a debut film, the director has a storyline and a location that is different from the routine movies. The suspense is well maintained and the narration does not lag except when the songs intrude out of context. The actors have done their jobs adequately and one cannot blame them".[4]
