Release and reception
A critic from Sify gave the film a verdict of violent and stated that "Overall, the film is a brave attempt to realistically portray how a man is betrayed not only by people close to him, but by his own past which catches up with him, proving that violence only begets more violence".[2] A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of one-and-a-half out five stars and noted that "While it is okay to have normal-looking people as the main actors, one would expect them to carry the film with their performances, which sadly isn’t the case here".[3] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "Small budgeted with no big names to boast of, the film despite its flaws is refreshing, and a promising effort from a debutant filmmaker".[4] A critic from Dinamalar praised the first half of the film and the music while criticizing the film's climax.[5] A critic from Vikatan praised the cinematography and music of the film while criticizing the second half of the film.[6] The film was not successful at the box office.[7]
