[Ameer](/source/Ameer_(director)), [Samuthirakani](/source/Samuthirakani), [AR Murugadoss](/source/AR_Murugadoss) and [Karu Pazhaniappan](/source/Karu_Pazhaniappan) attended the film's audio launch.[6][7] ## Reception A critic from *[iFlicks](/source/Dina_Thanthi)* wrote that "Kanja Karuppu who has produced this film has done his part with good comedy. Songs are good in Srikanth Deva's music. Director M.P.Gopi gets an appreciation for filming a normal village story to a beautiful screenplay".[8] A critic from *[Dinamalar](/source/Dinamalar)* noted how it was "comforting that the film was not needlessly boring" while also praising the acting, music and cinematography.[9] A critic from *[Maalaimalar](/source/Maalaimalar)* called the film funny.[10] ## Controversy After the film's failure at the box office, Ganja Karuppu went into debt.[11] During the production of the film, the film stopped midway due to lack of money. Ganja Karuppu loaned out his property land and finished the film. He lodged against Gopi and executive director Kalaiyappan for not returning the land.[12] ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-filmibeat_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-filmibeat_1-1) Shankar (26 February 2013).
