Critical reception

Sify wrote:"Sarath and director Suresh has kept the theme of politics as family business, and added a lot of heroism to the central character and made him a one-man fighting machine".[2] Rediff.com wrote: "Director Suresh needs to realise that unless the scripts are original, it takes a miracle to save a movie. And even in a bankable star like Sarath, he finds no miracle".[1]
