Film critic Balaji Balasubramaniam wrote "the movie's approach struggles between two completely opposite directions a cheap, exploitative film and a tearjerker" and that "the producer seems to have banked on the film's glamour to bring in the viewers since that is what the title and the movie's promos focus on" and that "this is unfortunate because the main story has actually been taken quite well".
