Concluding Lines: Pandiraj is commendable for choosing a story that is abruptly different from his noteworthy debut venture. He succeeds in portraying the life of the ethnic communities of particular group and their pride. But the film lacks gripping screenplay. Pandiraj has laid the platform well during the early phases of the movie, but later struggled to play on that platform when the audience expects something dramatic. Pandiraj has not weaved his magic this time.
