Release and reception

[edit]

The film was censored with a UA certificate, with two cuts.[4] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote "Beginning the film with a bang is appreciable but the challenge lies in keeping the interest of the viewer sustained – and when scenes are protracted beyond a point they could tire the audience. Kanmani Unakkaga does."[5] A critic from Chennai Online wrote "The script loses direction in the second half. A lot of sentiment is thrown in, too many villains crop up, and somewhere along the way the audience loses interest."[6]
