Reception

[10] Chennai Online wrote "The film is a remake of the Kannada hit 'A'. It had helped establish popular star Upendra as a director-hero with his own unique, zany and a bizarre style of scripting, characterisation and narrative style. Which doesn't work to advantage in the Tamil version. Rehashed, it loses out in its essence and comes across as a series of disjointed scenes put together in a jerky, haphazard way. matters". [11]
