Reception
B. Balaji of Thenisai.com gave the film 2.5 out of 5. He said : "Vasu spends a lot of time showing the mutually loving relationship between Parthiban and K. Viswanath. These scenes are overdone just a little bit and some artificiality permeates the frames. Lakshmi doesn't help with her overacting. Parthiban is subdued and barring a few occasional wordplays, doesn't display much of the talkative persona he usually adopts in movies. The twist in the middle is obvious from early on but does perk up interest in the proceedings. Unfortunately Vasu squanders this with lame characterizations and obvious attempts at setting the stage for later proceedings. The villain's character is a brazen caricature and his acts lack even basic common sense. Similarly, K.Vishwanath's solemn oath that he would never bear giving a flawed judgement is an obvious setup for later happenings. The director regains some ground in the concluding portions. They move fast without any unnecessary complications dragging the predictable conclusion. And the way the final act is executed is very effective and touching. Parthiban and Vadivelu have made an effective comedy pair from Bharathi Kannamma. The director cleverly capitalises on this fact by making Vadivelu wonder who Parthiban is, the first time they come eye-to-eye. But instead of stopping with that, he overdoes it and their meetings from then onwards feel like retreads of their scenes in the earlier movie. Vadivelu's solo comedy is in fact more enjoyable. Preeta does her part satisfactorily and is effective in the emotional scenes. Rajeev is wasted in an inconsequential role.".[5]
