Reception

Chennai Online wrote "No serious thought seems to have gone into the scripting. It is taken for granted that the audience would swallow anything if it has the label of a 'devotional' film. There is a couple of interesting computer graphics. But graphics can do only that much, when the screenplay is so weak".[3] Indiainfo wrote "Many of the deeds of Ramya and counter by the goddess give the ample scope to put full power the graphics. Ramya does a good job in the title role. It looks as if the director has (Bharathi Kannan) has weaved an interesting tale only to suit the graphics".[4]
