Critical reception

Indolink wrote "The film is hilarious on some occasions, but is also uncomfortably vulgar during others" and also noted "But the film has a little something few films have today! It will make you laugh till your tummy aches, if you are willing to laugh along".^[3] Balaji B wrote "Sundar.C has tried to prove me wrong. But unfortunately, while he has gotten the "full-length" part right, he has failed in the "comedy" part with a distinctly unfunny movie where the laughs per minute ratio is way too low for me to recommend even renting the movie".^[4]
