Reception

Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu praised the comic exchanges of Sathyaraj and Goundamani and said, "despite fairly good acting and appealing dialogue the film does not make an impact, it is the pitfalls in the story and screenplay that are to be blamed".^[2] Visual Dasan of Kalki gave the film a verdict of "average".^[3] Malini Mannath wrote in Chennai Online, "The message that the director intended to convey, about the importance of education and the stringent rules certain prestigious schools follow, is diluted as the director shuttles between the comic and the serious, and gives more importance to the marital discord and the jealous wife story".^[4]
