Reception
Ram Venkat Srikar of Cinema Express rated the film 2/5 and termed it an "emotionally hollow drama." Srikar added that, "It is earnest story with a lot of heart buried somewhere under the cliches. Sashi aspires to endow us with an emotional viewing experience but settles for monotony and leaves us indifferent.[5]
The Times of India critic Thadhagath Pathi also rated the film 2 stars of five, stating that it was dull love story which lacked in originality.[6] A reviewer from Eenadu opined that the film had a routine story and screenplay but appreciated the performances of Aadi and Surbhi.[7]
