Reception
A critic from Indolink said it was an "old wine in new bottle" and that the director has "attempted to give a new look to the age old story of avenging the death of the hero's father".[5] Ji of Kalki praised Rajkiran's acting and Ilaiyaraaja's music but felt Khushboo was wasted and despite Lakshmi's good acting she felt ill-suited for villager's role.[6]
