Reception
Film critic Baradwaj Rangan wrote, "Theres no effort in any department of filmmaking, and were just left with the sight of M Sasikumar angling for an easy B/C-centre hit. No one can grudge him that, and not every film can be a 'Subramaniapuram', but is a little quality control too much to expect?"
