Sify wrote, "Director Selvabharathy's idea is to please the frontbenchers as the story moves ahead. There is a comedy, sex, smutty dialogues and jokes galore at politicians especially targeting Tamilnadu chief Minister O. Panneerselvam".[3] Mallini Mannath said, "Verbal and situational comedy, some of them enjoyable, is packed in. The director makes no bones about catering to the masses. Giving Sathyaraj company is Vivek, straining his voice to a crescendo, fitting in well with the director's requirements. Mumtaz, for a change, has a meaty role, and uses well the opportunity given to her".[4]
