    Release[edit]

    The Times of India gave the film a rating of one out of five stars and wrote that " The only appreciable thing here is the title credits sequence, which captures the vibe of lurid pulp thrillers, something that the film tragically fails to realize".[9] A critic from Maalai Malar praised Daniel Balaji's acting, the screenplay, and the cinematography.[10]
