Abhijath of The Hindu opined that "The film begins well, while in the second half, it loses tempo". To prevent piracy, the film was released in 50 centres. Sagarika dropped his shelved project Chakram with Mohanlal and Dileep after the film's failure.[8] Mohanlal went on to play a similar role in Vamanapuram Bus Route (2004), which was almost removed from theatres due to the box office failure of this film.[9] [10] [11]
