On 19 December 1986,
The Indian Express wrote that while the film had a good start, many scenes looked like they were executed with "lack of imagination", leading to "clichéd situations and loud acting (especially by Sivachandran)".
Jayamanmadhan of
Kalki panned the film for its story and lack of logic. Balumani of
Anna praised the acting of Vijayakanth, Sivachandran and other actors except for Amala and also praised Janagaraj's humour, Dinesh Babu's cinematography and Manoj-Gyan's music and noted despite excellent music, excellent actors and excellent cinematography, there is a slight lapse in the pace from scene to scene, which makes you squirm in your seat at some points. == References ==
