== Reception ==
In 1993, Sachi Sri Kantha wrote the film "is a mediocre Tamil movie [...] The only redeeming feature of that movie, as far as I can remember, was the Paapa [child] song of poet Kannadasan, which was sung by Carnatic diva K.B.Sundarambal. Kannadasan’s verse and Sundarambal’s voice! – splendid, is the only adjective one can use for that super combination."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Kantha |first1=Sachi Sri |author-link1=Sachi Sri Kantha |title=The Pirabhakaran Phenomenon Part 53 |url=https://www.sangam.org/PIRABAKARAN/Part53.htm |website=[[Sangam.org]] |access-date=24 July 2020 |date=19 February 2003}}</ref>
