Reception

A critic from Dinakaran noted "this film is a milestone that speaks well of the newly set-in trend in Tamil field created by the young generation directors". [4] Ji of Kalki found Kushboo's flashback to be poignant, he found Arun Kumar's performance as poor but praised the other actors while also praising Jayanth's music and felt Kushboo was slowly becoming supporting actress. [5] D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "Karan scales new heights in his career, while director Balasekharan, who has written the story, screenplay and dialogue, queers the pitch [...] Vijaygopal's cinematography captures the drama in good measure". [6]

The film became a commercial success, prompting a Telugu version ( Ammayi Kosam ) of the film to be produced. [7]
