Reception[edit]

S. Shiva Kumar of Mid-Day wrote, "Karthik's sensitive performance and Ilayaraja's soothing music save the film from being a total washout. Gigi makes a very unsure debut and looks uncomfortable throughout."[10]

Legacy[edit]

The song "Neethane Enthan Pon Vasantham" inspired the titles of a 2012 film (Neethaane En Ponvasantham) and a 2020 TV series,[11][12] while "Panivizhum Malarvanam" inspired the name of a 2014 film.[13]
