Reception
Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote that "Almost all of Ramarajan's roles have been that of a rustic. And one often felt that the hero should go in for a change of image. But after watching him in action as the super cop here, one feels the hero was better off playing the rustic simpleton!".[2]
