Reception
editAnanda Vikatan felt the film was like a mixture of Rosappu Ravikkaikari (1979), Pournami Nilavil (1980) and story of Bakasuran while criticising Prakasam's imagination, vulgarity and double meaning dialogues.[5] Kalki gave the film a negative review, criticising Prakasam's writing, direction, and Ganesh's performance.[6]
