Reception

The Times of India rated the movie at two stars and heavily criticized it, as they felt that it promoted consanguineous marriages. The Hindu and IndiaGlitz also panned the movie, with the former stating that the film "had all the pre requisites to be a decent hit and for the ‘family audience’ the director adulterates the smooth going story with unpalatable scenes and unnecessary characters after a point and makes the viewer restless even as the film is seemingly headed for a routine but a decent message."
