Though there is not much of promotion for the film audiences hooked onto the film as its the film of Bala, Vishal and Arya. The film received positive response as Vishal's acting was outstanding and many opined that Vishal will surely bag the National Award for Best Actor for 2011. His acting skills are incomparable to his other outings and Bala has brought out the real actor out of him. Vishal made a daring attempt by looking like a squint eyed boy and he did a lot of hard work for attaining this look. In fact to shoot his scene the entire team has to wait nearly for half an hour for setting his eye ball perfectly.

But the feedback heard straight from the audiences after the show in a public opinion was that the film runs short off story, the film during the second half is dragging, the editing should have been done in a much qualitative way and many felt that Bala's typical style of making is missing.

On the other side some audiences loved the film as it is different experience watching a different film.
