Reception
'Times of India' wrote "The plot had enough scope for making it a wholesome entertainer, but one needs to watch the movie to know how it has been badly wasted." 'Cinema Express' wrote "Dharma Prabhu quite needlessly takes on the mantle of messaging. It appears even narakalokam isnt immune to the rampant disease of posturing." 'Sify' wrote "Apart from Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikecei, none of the Tamil fantasy comedies have clicked in Tamil mainly because of shoddy writing and execution. Leading comedy actor Yogi Babus Dharmaprabhu in which he plays the lead title role is another addition to the genre, which disappoints."
