The film won critical acclaim upon release, with The Hindu describing it as a "welcome change". Sify.com praised the film labelling that "Prashanth is top class", "Sneha steals some of the scenes with a larkish spontaneity and vivacity", while that director Susi Ganesan who has written the story and screenplay has done a neat job." A critic from Nowrunning.com wrote that "Prashanth excels in his and Sneha's performance in her first official film is commendable", adding that "as the tough father, Nasser has come up with a strong performance". The satellite rights of the film were sold to Jaya TV.
