Reception
''The Hindu'' wrote "The story is old, the way the characters enact their roles is ancient, and melodrama is predominant, especially in Vadivelu's expressions." BBThots called it "another movie that pushes Tamil movies even further backward along the progressive line". ''Chennai Online'' wrote "This film with its snakes, good and evil, and the Goddess all seem to be in the director’s favourite genre. Not a very intelligent audience in mind when he made this film! What is surprising is that such a film could come from the production house of a K. Balachander!".
