Reception
A critic from Sify wrote that " If you are looking forward to see a clean and entertaining love story for Onam go ahead and see the film".[2] A critic from Cinesouth wrote that "Flashbacks are nothing new for cinema, but this style always carries the distinct individuality of the director. Fazhil, in his style, has made this a heady mixture of love, scenic locations great music and emotions".[6]
