Reception
A reviewer from The Times of India gave the film a rating of two out of five stars and wrote that "The messages put across in the film, highlighting the alarming child abuses, looks good on paper, but the execution falls flat".[5] Sify wrote "Pa.Vijays intention to deliver a message against child abuse is laudable, the film fails big time in the execution part."[6]
