Critical reception

Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "It was meant to depict the life of pavement dwellers, and of the trials and tribulations of one woman in particular. But the way it has turned out, it is like this group of artistes are sitting by the wayside in isolation, pretending to be pavement dwellers, putting on an accent and speaking the lingo. All very put-on and laughable". [8] The film won the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Film Portraying Woman in Good Light for 2002. [9]
