Reception

S. Shiva Kumar of Mid-Day wrote, "Karthik' s sensitive performance and Ilayaraja's soothing music save the film from being a total washout. Gigi makes a very unsure debut and looks uncomfortable throughout."[12] Thiraignani of Kalki praised Karthik's acting and Ilaiyaraaja's music and also praised Sridhar for showing love in a different dimension, he concluded though he wrote praising Sridhar after watching the film, the review is negative.[13] Balumani of Anna newspaper praised the acting of star cast and cinematography but found Ilayaraja's songs to be average and stated Sridhar, who has focused well on the early part of the film, would have been a hit if he had focused well on the second half.[14]

Legacy

The song "Neethane Enthan Pon Vasantham" inspired the titles of a 2012 film (Neethaane En Ponvasantham, in which the lead character briefly sings the song)[15] [16] and a 2020 TV series.[17] "Panivizhum Malarvanam" inspired the title of a 2014 film.[18]
