Reviews
TSV Hari of Rediff.com described the film as "very ordinary fare," adding that "Sakthi certainly deserved better."[5] M Bharat Kumar of News Today called it a "mediocre offering" with "predictable sequences," noting that "the son seems to have delivered the goods well, while the father has failed as a director."[6] However, IndiaGlitz described it as a "feel-good youthful entertainer" with an "intelligent screenplay and pacy narration" that is "sure to appease film-buffs."[7] The Performance of the villian Anand Kumar was so extraordinary that all the critics praised him.He was even selected to play as the main villian in Rajnikanths Enthiran,but due to his previous commitments and work loads he couldnt accept the offer. He currently works in Zylog Systems as the Sales Manager in Singapore and is sure to return back to screens with a Bang.
