Reception

The film was a moderate hit at the box office.[3] R. P. R. of Kalki praised the music, cinematography and Prakash Raj's acting and added the film's first fifteen minutes feels dragged but the pace picks up after the arrival of Prakash Raj.[4] D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "Arun Kumar and newcomer Manthra make a pleasing pair, romancing without any inhibition, Ganeshram's camera making the best use of the seashore fort and its ramparts in the song and dance portions. Prakashraj displays a lot of dash in his approach, the wolf in sheep's clothing effect being brought about without much sweat".[5]
