Reception
The Indian Express called it "ambitious and vast, brash, blatantly loud, empty and diffuse". A group of people reviewed the film for Kalki, praising the fight sequence and locations but felt there were too many songs.

Legacy
The film had an extraordinary opening and such that it created stampedes in Shanti theatre in Coimbatore, killing two persons. This led to the theatre's licence being cancelled until the theatre owner "toiled" to regain it. In the 2013 Tamil film Sutta Kadhai, lead heroes of that film Balaji and Venkatesh appeared as fans of Ramki and Arun Pandian. In one scene, Balaji utters the film's title referring to their collaboration on a mission.
