Thambi Ramaiya, Elavarasu, and the rest of the cast deliver strong performances. A simple and predictable story with a few routine stretches and pacing issues in between. Directed by Nithish Sahadev, with a Malayalam flavor in every frame. Neat cinematography and a crispy runtime. The film connects more with family and drama lovers. Overall, A simple, fun, and enjoyable Pongal entertainer."
