Vijiyan of New Straits Times wrote, "The strong family theme helps prop up all the action scenes and makes it different from just another Rambo-style movie." R. P. R. of Kalki wrote that Arjun has done an "one man show like Seshan" however felt that Arjun has messed up in aspects like music calling it torture, keeping lengthy dialogues and the poor choice of actor as antagonist. He concluded that one must appreciate the makers the fact that they've made a point. We have to sigh at the fact that they don't know how to convey it.
