Release
editThe film had a low profile release on 25 December 2003. A reviewer from The Hindu stated "it was a neat film which loses track towards the end" and added that "Shanmugavel ought to have avoided stuffing too many incidents into the storyline all of a sudden", while "at the same time he has to be complimented for a clean venture — a feature that is so hard to come by these days".[3] A critic form Sify.com labelled the film as "average", noting that "Sona is strikingly sweet as Raziya and Abbas is back in form after a long break", while "Nandita come out with an impressive portrayal as Janaki". The critic added "surprisingly there is no mandatory comedy track and the debutant director has to be applauded for making a clean film".[4] Chennai Online wrote "It's a small budget film with no big names to boast of. But it's to the debutant director's credit that he has managed to give a fairly engaging product".[5] Mister Lee of Kalki wrote though its a routine plot, debut director Shanumgavel surprises us by the way the plot is narrated praising the cinematography, Ilavarasu's humour but panned Nanditha's acting, characterisation of second heroine and villains.[6]
