Soundtrack
[edit]The music composed by Ilayaraja.[2] Rediff wrote "In fact, that's something that's valid for the whole album -- in many ways, its trademark Ilayaraja of olden times, minus the musical feats that some of his classic usually contain. Perhaps that might be a direct result of the project itself; this collection works best if you're a diehard fan".[3] Milliblog called it "decent enough soundtrack".[4]

Reception
[edit]The film earned poor reviews with Filmibeat stating "There is little logic in the scenes. But there is a trick to making you watch the scenes. Even if more attention was paid to the screenplay, the entire film could have been enjoyed".[5] Behindwoods wrote "In a nutshell, the sorry state of Mathiya Chennai’s screenplay and poor writing is to be blamed for the output".[6] The film fared below average at box-office.[7]
