A critic fromThe Hindu wrote, "The entire film is shot in the rain to show the mood of the story and the characters. The setting is very believable and cinematography captures the locations and ambience vividly" but concluded that "Many scenes were incorporated to fill the spaces, dialogues are dramatic and the pace slow. Archana and Sivaji are okay but they didn’t quite fit into the period drama, both sounding bit awkward in their costumes and dialogues".[5]
