Release and reception The film was released on 30 June. Maalai Malar wrote that director Sureshkumar has tried to mix love and comedy in his first film; the first half of the film is very slow, but the second half is very lively. He made an entertaining film that people can watch as a family. Ananda Vikatan gave the film a more unfavourable review and wrote that Sureshkumar has a lot of talent as shown by the beginning and ending of the film but criticized the middle part of the film.
