Reception
A critic from Sify opined that "All in all a disappointing venture from a debutant director".[7] Chennai Online wrote "The knot had potential and with better scripting and smoother narration would have turned out to be an engaging film. Not much expectation here, so no heavy disappointment either!".[8] BizHat wrote "Though the script has quite a few flaws, debutant director-script writer Primose (he is also the cameraman and producer) should be appreciated for making an effort to be different from the routine stuff. The slow narration mars the pace of the film".[9] Visual Dasan of Kalki wrote a review as form of two lawyers arguing whether Rajkiran or Jai Akash is the main protagonist with judge concluding director in a way is the protagonist in giving twists to unite them.[10]
