Reception
Chennai Online wrote "Rama Narayanan’ s films are becoming monotonous and stereotyped. You’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. The only consolation for the film-maker is that, shot on a limited budge, and patronised by the rural and the suburban folk, the film manages to recover the cost. So, who are we to grudge him!".[4] Viggy wrote "People from Telugu and Tamil film industry are always the leaders in making spiritual movies and so is the director of Sri Kalikamba - Ramnarayan. Has done a good job in extracting their best out of all actors even from animals like elephant, monkey etc".[1]
