Release
The film opened in September 2000 to mixed reviews, with a critic noting that the film fails due to the miscasting of the lead actor.[4] A reviewer from The Hindu noted "melodious music, enchanting visuals, good dialogues, all these and other plus points offset the mediocre screenplay of Shenbagam Movies Ilayavan".[5]
