Reception
A critic from Nowrunning wrote that "There is nothing new in this Dileep starrer. It's just another mandatory comedy where Dileep tries the same things which we have seen thousand times".[4] A critic from Chithram wrote that "On the whole unless Dileep pulls up his socks, his comedy act will turn out to be a great tragedy".[5]
