Reception

N. Krishnaswamy of The Indian Express said, "It is a hell of a story. Attempted rape, rape, suicide, murder, revenge, songs, dances, fights, all pieced together in an absurd, thoroughly contrived, exploitative jumble".^[6] Jayamanmadhan of Kalki appreciated Rajendar's music, but felt the story, though good, was not well executed.^[7]
