Reception
Critical response
'The New Indian Express' gave the film a negative review and wrote that "'Ayudha Porattam' is confused issues, and misguided direction. A few more misadventures such as this, rather than resurrecting the heros dipping career, will, on the contrary, make it non-existent". 'Sify' gave a similar review and stated that " The basic premise of the story is interesting, but the screenplay and characters are half-baked".Box office
The film was a dud at the Chennai box office.References
