Reception

D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "A stale story, made staler by the slip-shod direction of A. R. Ramesh (``Thayagam″), who has also penned the screenplay, offers dull hours in Valli Cine Arts, ``Eni Ellam Sukamae″. The lead pair Sanghavi and Abbas just go through the movie, the latter still in the infancy stage of acting".[5] Two years after release, the producers were given a ₹5 lakh (equivalent to ₹21 lakh or US$26,000 in 2023) subsidy by the Tamil Nadu government along with several other films.[6]
