Reception

Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote the film "begins with engrossing and sophisticated action from the word `go' which continues till the end of the first half, but action tapers into melodrama and tedium, especially in the last few scenes".^[6] Malini Mannath wrote in Chennai Online, "The first half of the film keeps one engaged with its racy narration and clever use of gadgetry and computer graphics. But the second half is a long drawn out affair".^[7]
