Reception

K. Vijiyan of New Straits Times wrote "Nothing much in this movie but a controversial idea".^[4] The film did not perform well commercially, with Sudhish Kamath noting, "The problem with it: the same old cliches of commercial cinema — the film was ridden with stereotypes, predictable incidents triggered by unidimensional screen villains".^[5]
