Reception
editNarayani M from Cinema Express wrote that the film was "Partly jarring, partly preachy tale on downsides to being vertically challenged".[4] Raiza Nazreen from Times Now wrote that the film breaks "Stereotypes With Compelling Tale Of Love And Intrigue".[5] Roopa Radhakrishnan from The Times of India called the film "relevant but also overly reliant on dialogues".[6] A critic from Dinamalar wrote that "The director keeps the newcomers and budding actors entertained by giving a compelling story. Among the many films that released this week, this film is one that gives hope to newbies. The story and characters taken by the director is the reason for that. Only some cinematic scenes could have been avoided".[7]
