Critical reception



Indolink.com strongly gave a negative review stating that it's basically supporting actors beheading the lead actors and why do actor's son and daughter come to act in movies and criticized Suriya for his tedious face expressions. Suriya and Preetha vijayakumar could have just watched how Prakash Raj and Raadhika emote during emotional scenes instead of participating as hero and heroine.
