Reception[edit]
Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "The debutant director takes the narration from the hill-station, to the earthquake-hit Bhuj, and back to the hill-station, to add some drama and generate interest in his sweet hearts-separeated-at-childhood story. All to no avail".[3] Visual Dasan of Kalki wrote though director is inspired from Kadhal Kottai, he has succeeded in maintaining the same tempo from that film while praising the humour of Ravikumar and Ramesh Khanna, Deva's music and Rengasamy's cinematography but panned Nanditha's character and concluded saying although the story is old, the film survives because the visuals are fresh.[4] The film did not perform well at the box office.[5]
