Critical reception

Indiaglitz wrote:"Sakthi Chidambaram has used the concept of cloning well to suit the commercial needs of the movie. Sakthi has narrated the tale of motherly sentiment laced with all commercial elements".^[4] Sify criticized the film and claimed that "what the actor and his director was trying to convey through this film - a bit of sleaze and fun or steamy mother sentiments?".^[5]
