Reception

[edit]

Chennai Online wrote "No serious thought seems to have gone into the scripting. It is taken for granted that the audience would swallow anything if it has the label of a 'devotional' film. There is a couple of interesting computer graphics. But graphics can do only that much, when the screenplay is so weak".[3] Indiainfo wrote "Many of the deeds of Ramya and counter by the goddess give the ample scope to put full power the graphics. Ramya does a good job in the title role. It looks as if the director has (Bharathi Kannan) has weaved an interesting tale only to suit the graphics".[4] The Hindu wrote "All the lead stars have dual roles to play. Ramki does not have much to do. Ramya Krishnan hogs the limelight and does justice to her roles. `Nizhalgal' Ravi does a neat job. Ponnambalam and Thyagu are adequate. Vadivelu's comedy is average. Bhanupriya as the goddess has nothing much to offer".[5] Screen India wrote "Director Bharathi Kannan has tried his best to weave an interesting tale to suit the graphics man and in the process lost out on the narration".[6]
