Reception



'Sify' wrote "The film does not have a coherent script, logic and lacks focus. It is another 'Made in Madurai' bloodbath that's etched from various earlier movies and a bit from Fernando Meirelles's classic 'City of God'". 'Times of India' wrote "Periyasamy, who had showed some promise in his earlier outing Oru kalooriyin kathai, is clearly in the grip of the good-at-heart village boys ending up in a mess-street plot. Nothing original, nothing closely resembling out-of- the-box thinking, but a faithful adherence to the way Madurai-belt films pan out."
