Reception
Deccan Chronicle wrote that "As a director, he [Maran] has extracted the best, be it from Dheesha, Tara and other newcomers. Imman Annachi performs well. But as an actor, Maran needs to hone his skills. The screenplay gets a bit preachy at times; nevertheless, the intention to impart a good message is obvious".[4][5]
