Meanwhile, Manju's maternal uncle Chakravarthy is a smuggler who sells drugs using his older brother Vedhachalam's lorries.

Rajasekhar, the presiding judge for the case, realises that Raja & Ramu are his long-lost brothers.

He then researches all night, returns as a defence lawyer to save Raja and successfully proves that Chakravarthy is the one who murdered his own brother.

[7] Jayamanmadhan (a duo) of Kalki praised Rajinikanth for his fight scenes, Ganesan for controlled acting, Ilaiyaraaja's music as melodious with praise directed towards the song "Oorai Therinjukitten" for its tune, lyrics and picturisation but felt Ambika was there only for glamour.

[8] Ananda Vikatan wrote that although is a simple masala story, director Rajasekhar should be applauded for giving a quality entertainment film with Ganesan quietly and Rajinikanth aggressively, though the critic felt the final dialogue was artificial.
