Critical Reception
ETimes rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and noted, "Where the film loses ground is in its commitment to the Dhanush sentiment factory. Land, parents, husbandhood, ancestral pride: similar shortcomings of his recent 'Idli Kadai'. Every emotional thread gets pulled on, and after a while you feel the pattern more than the feeling. Vignesh loves his symbolism too (and so does Dhanush), and there's a discipline missing here that would have given the quirkier instincts more room to breathe. The micro-predictability bites as well. Cues, glances, slow turns, you can clock most of them three beats early."
Cast and Disclaimer
Fronted by Dhanush, the film also stars Mamitha Baiju, K. S. Ravikumar, Karunas, Jayaram, Prithvi Rajan, Suraj Venjaramoodu, and Sreeja Ravi in key roles.
