Reception

S. Shivakumar of Sunday Mid-Day called it "the worst AVM presentation I have ever seen" and went on to write "With absolutely no plot, director Ram Narayan depends on his abundant talent in penning the now proverbial double meaning dialogues to stimulate the baser instincts of the filmmakers 'main food'". Balumani of Anna praised acting, music and direction and felt the climax was similar to Manohara and could have been avoided. The film failed at the box office, partly due to audience's reluctance to accept Smitha as a lead actress.
