Reception
The film was released on 14 January 1994 alongside other Pongal releases such as Sethupathi IPS, Amaidhi Padai, Rajakumaran, Veetla Visheshanga and Sindhu Nathi Poo.[2] Malini Mannath of The Indian Express wrote, "The story is a little different (Gita) and for a first film is to the director's credit that he has tried out something different in the scenes he has incorporated in the screenplay. But of course it is his first work and it shows".[3]
