Reception
[edit]A writer for Indolink wrote, "The fact that all these stars [Murali, Arunpandian, Anandbabu and Reeva] packed up to picturize the songs in St. Mary's Island seems to be the sole asset to this film".[2] Two years after release, the producers were given a ₹5 lakh subsidy by the then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi along with ten other films.[5]
