Critical reception

TSV Hari of Rediff.com described the film as "very ordinary fare," adding that "Sakthi certainly deserved better."[5] M Bharat Kumar of The News Today called it a "mediocre offering" with "predictable sequences," noting that "the son seems to have delivered the goods well, while the father has failed as a director."[6] However, IndiaGlitz described it as a "feel-good youthful entertainer" with an "intelligent screenplay and pacy narration" that is "sure to appease film-buffs."[7]

Legacy

The dialogue "Varum Aanaa Varaadha" spoken by Ennatha Kannaiya became popular.[8]

gollark: Well, not very awful, it just won't work.
gollark: Hmm. 33 offense, but your code is awful and won't work.
gollark: That could be cool.
gollark: Maybe I should make an invalid time argument cause ABR to just pick a time at random.
gollark: Since they have not generally had enough sleep, this would be good except they are not actually sleeping.
