## Critical reception

A critic from *[Sify](/source/Sify)* wrote "It is supposed to be a love story with a difference, but 15 minutes in to the film you just can't fathom what's going on. It's neither a pure vanilla love story nor an arty film. Directors S.Haricharan and Newton tries their best to be in a different genre but ends up falling between two stools".[5] T S V Hari of [Rediff.com](/source/Rediff.com) wrote "This Tamil film is a must-watch -- only for those youngsters who want to propose to their girlfriends under the cover of the darkness in the movie hall. Rest assured, there will be no distraction from the onscreen proceedings. The whole film is senseless".[6] Jaanu of *[Kalki](/source/Kalki_(magazine))* praised the background score, song picturisations, cinematography and dialogues but panned the screenplay.[7]
