Reception

A critic from Dinakaran noted "Kasturi Raja, though he has designed his song scenes in the usual folk culture style, has picturised the other scenes and human passions and sentiments in a remarkably, brilliant way".

Ramanujam of The Hindu appreciated Vijayakanth's dual role performance, the cinematography and music, but felt Roja was wasted. [7] The film won the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Make-up Artist (Raju). [8] The film was dubbed in Telugu as Adavi Puli in March 1999. [9]
