'' 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".
