Release and reception

The film released on 6 July 2007 to average response where the critics called it as an "ordinary" remake [4] and "the only redeeming factor of this film is the last 20 minutes of the film". Nowrunning.com reviewed the film as "just another remake which does not raise above the ordinary levels and certainly does not reach the standards of its original film". [5] Sify wrote "Director Saiprakash seems to have lost interest half way through making this remake of the hit Telugu film 'Santosham'. First and foremost the casting could have been better and the unnecessary comedy mars the tempo. And the basic story resembles Ravichandran's own film 'Ondagona Baa'". [6] Ironically, the film which itself was a remake from Telugu, was later dubbed again in Telugu language and released as America Alludu (2011). [7]
