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."https://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/2000/04/21/stories/09210224.htm BBThots called it "another movie that pushes Tamil movies even further backward along the progressive line".http://www.bbthots.com/reviews/2000/rkamman.html 'Chennai Online' wrote "This film with its snakes, good and evil, and the Goddess all seem to be in the directors 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!".
