==Reception==<br />
''The Hindu'' called it "a relevant film by Vikraman" but "The problem with it: the same old cliches of commercial cinema — the film was ridden with stereotypes, predictable incidents triggered by unidimensional screen villains."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150201093811/http://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/lf/2002/05/06/stories/2002050605550200.htm ]</ref> ''New Strait Times'' wrote "Nothing much in this movie but a controversial idea".<ref>https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=x8G803Bi31IC&dat=19941224&printsec=frontpage&hl=en</ref><br />
The movie did not perform well in the box office. After this, director Vikraman again moved back to his usual style of movie making, targeting a family audience which gave him blockbusters.<br />
