Reception

''Rediff.com'' wrote "The story breaks into a song every few minutes and watching Rajendar romancing in his rainbow coloured costumes and clumsy dancing is sure to tickle your funny bone. The action sequences, however, are well choreographed. The movie has a number of monologues of varying durations from Rajendar -- he launches into a soliloquy at the drop of a hat. Making no secret of his political inclinations, Rajendar makes liberal references to his son Simbu, which is totally unrelated to the story". ''Kollywood Today'' wrote "Too many characters and parallel story makes story too difficult to understand, and T.R lengthy dialogue tuned down well too". ''The Hindu'' wrote, "Not that the film is devoid of good aspects but they are nullified with Rajendar as the hero". ''Ananda Vikatan'' stated that marks could be given to test, but wondered how to give marks to a poisonous test, and refused to give marks to this film.
