Release and reception

[edit]

The release of the film was delayed after the failure of Sivasakthi Pandian's earlier film Kadhale Nimmadhi.[5][6]

A critic from Sify opined that "Now after a break, he [Agathiyan] is back with Ramakrishna with an all new star cast set against a village milieu which just does not live up to his earlier works".[1] A critic from Behindwoods wrote "In overall, the film has a strong story line, screenplay and some double meaning dialogues for some added entertainment, in a typical Agathian style, who is the director of this movie".[7] Chennai Online wrote "The presentation is fairly neat, urban life depicted well and the rural ambience picturised in all its simplicity. The director in the opening song in the village itself depicts in a capsule the entire culture, tradition and the folk arts of rural life. The pace does get a bit slow at times, the song numbers towards the latter part not helping matters. One feels even the treatment looks a bit out-dated".[8] Cinesouth called it a disappointment.[9]
