Reception

[edit]

A critic from Indiaglitz wrote that "Having proved his acting skills in Kaadhal (2004), Bharath has yet again given a matured performance".[2] Chennai Online wrote "The director's half-hearted attempts at lacing his narration with comedy scenes proves futile, their not quite fitting into his narration. Where he scores is in his song picturisation. The dance numbers are attractively shot, canned by Ratnavelu's camera, which throughout gives a rich glossy look to the frames".[3] Bizhat wrote "One wished that Hoshimin had a better written script which could have whipped up a winsome screenplay on the bitter-sweet nature of romance. All we end up with is some old fashioned virtues of love."[4] Visual Dasan of Kalki found Rathnavelu's cinematography as the film's only positive.[5]
