S. R. Ashok Kumar from The Hindu wrote, "if only one story had been woven into a nice screenplay, it would have sustained the tempo. A couple of small stories narrated in the film make the main story line weak.".[3] Ayyappa Prasad of Screen wrote, "Actually it seems that the director is more confused on whether to cash in on Vijayshanthi’s image or go in for more of the unusual stuff".[4] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "It is a film that wouldn't disappoint Vijayshanti's fans and would be lapped up by lovers of devotional themes".[5]
The film was later dubbed and released in Telugu as Maha Chandi.[6]
