Critical reception

Times of India wrote "Though this family drama has a tried-and-tested screenplay, with only a few engaging scenes, it is less preachy when compared to some of Samuthirakani’s earlier films."[8] Deccan Chronicle called it "Just an average drama".[1] India Today wrote "Thamira's tries to address the struggles of nuclear families in the fast-paced urban society, but like his one-dimensional characters, the solution he arrives at is also shallow and problematic."[9]

The few scenes are based on the 2006 Film The Pursuit of Happyness.
