Reception
D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "The desperate eagerness to do something new only lands the director in sorts of trouble, the first half being a mockery, the director, his acting inclusive, and his screenplay being woefully inadequate" but found the second half "enjoyable to an extent".[5]
