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". [5] Ji of Kalki wrote this is a film that has come up with the ultimate goal of making the masses of fans tear up the mat in ecstasy. [6] D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu appreciated Vijayakanth's dual role performance, the cinematography and music, but felt Roja was wasted. [7]
