The film was a typical mediocre one even by the standards of 1980s. The screen play smacked of inability to free from the stranglehold of the stage drama influences. As if that is not enough, it was a film on the miraculous powers of the Goddess worshipped widely by villagers in Tamil Nadu. Despite all the shortcomings the film had a very touching socio-spiritual message, which in hind sight of present day conditions also strikes one as very bold.
