Release and reception
[edit]Tulika of Rediff.com wrote that the film "ambles on in an amateurish way".[4] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote that "the earlier few scenes giving an impression that there is something to look forward to from the debutant director. But soon it turns into a predictable love triangle, with clichéd scenes, and a hasty unconvincing ending to boot".[5] Although Krishna Abhishek got offers to do more films in Tamil, he decided to act in Hindi films starting with Yeh Kaisi Mohabbat, which had the same producer as this film.[1]
