Production

Controversy
Through his financial company, Baba Trading Company, Srinivasan obtained Rs. 7 crore rupees from unsuspecting businessmen and used the money to begin a career in films through this film.[2]
Srinivasan reportedly hired force fans to attend the movie at a single cinema in North Chennai for publicity sake.[1] The film ran for 200 days at a single theatre.[3]
Reception
A critic from Dinamalar wrote that Ra. Bharathan could have put more focus into the story, screenplay, dialogues, songs and music.[4]
