However, another critic complimented the performances of the actors and penned, “A Simple, Beautiful Feel Gud Film. Sasikumar & Kids Score well. Limited Scope, Simran does gud. Yogibabu comedy works. Superb Songs & BGM. Sasi Drunk Seq is so emotional. Though Melodramatic, its very engaging. A GOOD Family Watch!”
