Reception
Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "An assortment of characters brought together, leading to confusion and mix-ups, impersonations and one-upmanship. Some of the situations are enjoyable, a few tolerably funny, while others plainly sickening. All meant for a targetted audience, who've enjoyed the earlier so-called comedies of the Prabhu-Gajendran teaming".[4] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote, "It is sad that filmmakers assume that just about anything in the name of comedy would sell. Let alone laughter, most of the time it is not even possible to manage a sardonic grin".[5] Visual Dasan of Kalki praised Gajendran for creating hilarious scenes and takes forward the scenes inevitably while praising the acting of Prabhu. Mani and Vasu and Sirpy's music and concluded saying such films made in lakhs with the aim of making people forget their worries and laugh are much more than junk films made in crores of money.[6]
