Critical reception
[edit]Kausigan of Kalki appreciated the performance of Vijaya and Cho's humour but felt Sundaram's dialogues lacked his signature touch and in regards to Krishnan–Panju's direction he felt how can the feast be good if the ingredients and utensils bought for feast are not perfect and no use of pointing out the cook.[5] Anna praised the acting of cast, music, dialogues and direction but felt despite having huge scope both Vijaya and Muthuraman did not have major scenes to prove their acting prowess and also felt unnecessary political dialogues could have been trimmed.[6]
