But all this is washed away in a flood of cliches".[3] [Jayamanmadhan](/source/Subha_(writers)) (a duo) of *[Kalki](/source/Kalki_(magazine))* wrote that there was no yawning from start to end, so they thanked Chandrasekhar.[4] Balumani of *Anna* praised acting, music, cinematography and noted the film's first half moves like a quiet stream and latter half goes swiftly but loses pace after Chandrasekar's character dies and panned the lengthy climax.[5] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["சிவப்பு மலர்கள் / Sivappu Malargal (1986)"](https://screen4screen.com/movies/sivappu-malargal). *Screen 4 Screen*.
