[2] A poor mute man Ganesh and a rich deaf-mute girl Thilaka fall in love.

[6] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote, "Too much of mental and physical trauma on screen could only leave the viewer weary and exasperated".

[7] Visual Dasan of Kalki called it the age old story of lovers on the run but praised Ilaiyaraaja's background score and Jayasurya's acting.

[8] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "Just that the director has made his protagonists mutes, the girl being additionally deaf.

So while one commends the director for his daring in making his lead players not utter a single word in the film, one cannot but notice that the rest is routine stuff".
