Reception
editMalini Mannath of The Indian Express gave a negative review citing "Raj Kapoor [..] has not done justice to the talented artiste Karthik".[4] R. P. R. of Kalki wrote no matter which donkey the story goes on till the interval; then there is a little suspense, and then there are seven to eight fights to give it a happy end, which almost becomes the whole formula of this series, he panned Ilaiyaraaja's music and praised cinematography as the only positive point.[5]
