Production

Soundtrack
The soundtrack is composed by Srikanth Deva. It includes a remixed version of "Aadi Maasam Kaathadikka" from the 1983 film Paayum Puli.

Release and reception
The film was released on 15 October 2010. A critic from Sify labelled the film as a "big bore", adding that "the film lacks a cohesive narration and screenplay". Another reviewer cited that the film was a "can't watch". The New Indian Express wrote, "The song-dance sequences follow in quick succession disturbing the flow and pace", adding, "The director has tried to infuse an element of realism in the earlier part. The script could have been etched in a more coherent and a convincing way when the scene shifts to the city".
