The thriller drama did not receive positive reviews from critics, who have argued that the filmmaker used Ajith in an "anti-heroic" manner. Meanwhile, the fans, in contradiction to critics, applauded Ajith's power-pact performance and whistled on the scenes where the Kollywood actor dances like Michael Jackson and comes up with witty one-liners. The film also features Manju Warrier and Samuthirakani in crucial roles.
