==Release==
The film opened to average reviews, with a critic from [[The Hindu]] noting "if only one story had been woven into a nice screenplay, it would have sustained the tempo. A couple of small stories narrated in the film make the main story line weak.".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20030627101605/http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/fr/2002/04/26/stories/2002042600910201.htm ]</ref> ''BBThots'' wrote it "doesn't offer anything new or different from the other Amman movies".<ref>http://www.bbthots.com/reviews/2002/sbamman.html</ref> ''Screen'' wrote "Actually it seems that the director is more confused on whether to cash in on Vijayshanthi’s image or go in for more of the unusual stuff".<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20120206005128/http://www.cscsarchive.org:8081/MediaArchive/art.nsf/(docid)/A27FF6C2FA8457A2E5256BC0000E999C?OpenDocument</ref>
