She found Deva's music as melodious while appreciating the editing as the film's lifeline and he has worked hard to show story within a story without confusion but panned Sarathkumar's acting and Manojkumar's direction.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=துளசி |date=2 October 1994 |title=ராஜபாண்டி |url=https://archive.org/details/kalki1994-10-02/page/n29/mode/2up |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20230902163917/https://archive.org/details/kalki1994-10-02/page/n29/mode/2up |archive-date=2 September 2023 |access-date=19 January 2023 |magazine=Kalki |page=28 |language=ta |via=Internet Archive}}</ref>
