Critical reception

M. Suganth of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 and wrote, "The treatment is as old-fashioned as the songs that Ilaiyaraaja dishes out, it results in a movie-watching experience that is as boring as watching an IV drip."[14] Avinash Ramachandran of Cinema Express gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5, stating, "As the world of Tamilarasan unravels, the narrative decisions pose many questions, but we end up with hardly any satisfying answers"[3] A critic from Dinamalar gave the film a rating of 2/5, stating, "The film was supposed to be released in the 1980s, so the ladies may have cried and watched it. It's too late to release in 2023, which is too boring."[15] A critic from Maalai Malar gave the film a rating of 2/5, stating, "The corrupt politicians and greedy hospital employees remind us of the films Ramanaa and Nenjirukkum Varai. The songs make us question, Is this composed by Ilaiyaraaja?"[16]
