Reception

Balaji Balasubramaniam of bbthots.com said that the film, "has all the aforementioned characteristics but unfortunately, is also needlessly vulgar in its portrayal of romance" and added that "Jeeva delivers a good performance. [...] Sharmilee is a tad below him in terms of performance but isn't particularly bad either. But the debutante comedian is irritating and never funny".[1] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu said, "Jerks in the narration and unexplained sequences make certain situations appear distorted [...] Nearly every Mani Sharma number reminds you of an old song" and concluded, "Supergood Films could have surely done better in its 50th venture".[2] Sify wrote, "The story, screenplay, dialogues and direction are credited to debutant Ravi Mariya, but sadly the film fails to impress. The film is a rehash of many love stories in the past including Fazil's Kadhalukku Mariyadhai" and added, "The debutant boy Jeeva is cool and has done his homework well. He proves to be star material while TV anchor Sharmilee is disappointing".[3] Another critic noted, "This isn't an instant movie classic, but then it surely ain't as bad as the majority of critics want you to believe either. Instead one should relax and enjoy".[4]
