Release and reception
R. P. R. of Kalki praised Manivannan's dialogues and Goundamani's comedy but panned the acting of Ajith and Maheswari and concluded the makers tried to create a rice out of mixing everything.[4] Two years after release, the producers were given a ₹5 lakh subsidy by the then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi along with ten other films.[5]
