Reception
[edit]Critical response
[edit]R G Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 1.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Ravichandran's comedy timing is always perfect, and he shines in here too though the same cannot be said of a repetitious Jaggesh. Jennifer and Pooja Gandhi are seen mostly in song and dance sequences. The other girls just come and go. Only a fan of Ravichandran and Jaggesh will call this even a time pass film".[2] Sify wrote "The theme is absolutely worn out and comedy scenes are shabby. Director Nagendra Magadi Pandu also known for comedy flicks has consumed a lot of time to tell the same old story. The novelty is missing in this film. Every scene in the film is predictable".[3][4][5][6]
