Reception
The Hindu wrote "The story is old, the way the characters enact their roles is ancient, and melodrama is predominant, especially in Vadivelu's expressions."[2] BBThots called it "another movie that pushes tamil movies even further backward along the progressive line".[3] Chennai Online wrote "This film with its snakes, good and evil, and the Goddess all seem to be in the director’s favourite genre. Not a very intelligent audience in mind when he made this film! What is surprising is that such a film could come from the production house of a K. Balachander!".[4]
