ReceptionMalathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote "From the stage version (Adhirshtakaran) to the big screen, Shekher seems to have traversed little. Krishna Krishnaa... provides a few moments that make you laugh aloud, a few that make you smile and others where a smirk alone suffices".[1] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "Since the stage play had come more than a decade back, quite a few of the scenes have already been picturised in some films. This movie is for those who have missed the drama and like to see Shekher in action".[5] Visual Dasan of Kalki wrote the camera angles and backdrops are frequently changed to remind us that this is a stage play and not a movie, but the feeling of watching a comedy drama in SV Shekhar's direction cannot be avoided.[6] Cinesouth wrote "S.V.Sekhar was enthusiastic in making the viewers have a hearty laugh. He has not looked into the quality of the film. In his treatment to the story and his directorial skills, he lags behind by fifteen years!".[7] References
