As per trade sources, the film directed by I.Ahmed has grossed rupees five crores in Tamil Nadu State alone, in its first four days of release including Monday. The opening for the first weekend has been above average as the film ran to packed houses at all centers in the weekend. Thanks to positive word of mouth the film also sustains well in the weekdays with a good theater occupancy.

We be assured that the fortunes of Udhay's first attempt to give a film with a strong emotional content will encourage him to do more such films than the regular romantic comedy flicks.
