Reception

The Indian Express called it "ambitious and vast, brash, blatantly loud, empty and diffuse but overall a good film to watch".[4]

Legacy

The film had an extra ordinary opening and such that it created Stampedes in Shanti theatre in Coimbatore, killing 2 persons. The news, which appeared in Tamil daily Dina Thanthi was advertised as a poster for its Kerala release. In 2013 Tamil film Sutta Kadhai, lead heroes of that film Balaji and Venkatesh appeared as fans of Ramki and Arun Pandian. In one scene, Balaji utter the film's title referring to their collaboration on mission.

gollark: The only ways to make money are to post memes and get investment commissions, or to get someone else to throw away their money, and it happens that subsidies make it so that that other person can happily just throw away money forever and not be an actual person.
gollark: Make the system actually sane? This is the "problem" season 1 had with bots - it was broken so they could do a lot.
gollark: Evil idea: make a bot which reposts random memes off some niche subreddit (so nobody will notice) with the picture fuzzed a bit so repost detectors won't notice it.
gollark: Oops.
gollark: The irony...
