Reception

[edit]

A critic from Sify wrote that "If you are looking forward to see a clean and entertaining love story for Onam go ahead and see the film".[2] A critic from Cinesouth wrote that "Flashbacks are nothing new for cinema, but this style always carries the distinct individuality of the director. Fazil, in his style, has made this a heady mixture of love, scenic locations great music and emotions".[6] A critic from Deccan Herald wrote that "Contrived song and dance sequences hardly add to the already lack lustre storyline. Fazil is said to have worked hard for the success of this film which introduces his son Shaanu. But, all that effort seems to have gone in vain".[7]
