Reception

Rohini M of Cinema Express gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Ezhil’s films are typically known for their light-hearted fun and humour, but here, you find yourself searching for the comedy right from the beginning. The entire film feels like an exaggerated school play filled with overacting and chaos."[17] Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "Director Ezhil unleashes a relentless barrage of gags that land with the grace of a drunk elephant, each one more cringe-inducing than the last. The film looks like it time-traveled from some alternate universe where comedy evolved differently, and badly."
