CinemaInbox[14]

CinemaInbox appreciated Mathivanan Sakthivel's and Mahashri's performance in the movie. It reviewed that Mathivanan Sakthivel was very natural in his acting as a novel writer and Mahashri performed the strong character as a blind girl very easily portraying as a real blind girl. The movie has lots of suspense in the search for unanswered thoughts and questions, tempting the audience to expect what comes next in the movie. The main drawbacks of the movie relates to the fact there were lots of new casts in the movie and the story revolving around similar locations.[15]


Tamil2day News commented that a nice story has been filmed with a very small budget. Mathivanan Sakthivel's acting was extraordinary, escpecially his acting on sad seems are exemplary. Mahashri's acting doesnt show that this is her first movie, she has acted as an experienced actress.[16]
