Reception
editMalini Mannath of Chennai Online said, "one would never have thought that a plot with such potential for humor would turn out to be such a tragic experience for the viewers. And the best part of the film? The acknowledgment that it is an adaptation of Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors. Though one wouldn't like to know what the bard would have thought of this one".[2]
