Reception
[edit]Thinkal Menon of The Times of India wrote, "The story has necessary elements for a 90s family drama, but the fact that we are currently two decades ahead makes it difficult for one to connect with the happenings in it. [..] The lack of detailing and inclusion of some outdated scenes are the major reasons why the film fails to impress".[7] Dinamalar gave the film a rating of two out of five.[8] Anupama Subramanian of Deccan Chronicle wrote that "The only bright spot in the film is the portions involving ace Malayalam actor Innocent".[9] Maalai Malar called the film "emotional".[10] Aaditya Anand M of News Today wrote, "Despite a slow first half, the film takes off only in the second half". He added, "Making a movie about one's own life is not easy and Ravichander, especially for that touching climax, deserves special applause for making this film".[11]
