Reception
The Times of India rated it 3 out of 5 and said that "It is a simple film without much to boast off". New Indian Express rated the film 3 out of 5, saying "This is a film that doesn't aim too high. It is content with being what it really is: a simple, old-fashioned, and feel-good family entertainer". Filmibeat rated it 3 out of 5 and said that " The film will take us back to the stories that we have seen in the 80s/90s, but it is set in today's time.
