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]
