Reception
Manigandan KR of Times Now rated 2.5 out of 5 star and noted that "The film has a powerful message to deliver but it is completely devoid of entertainment". Maalai Malar critic wrote that Easwari Rao's performance as the hero's mother is a major strength of the film and added that the climax scene is dazzling. Virakesari critic appreciated the director for setting the climax scene differently and felt that in that scene, Easwari Rao gives a good performance and captivates the hearts of the fans.
