The film was recived in a cool manner and since it was a big budget project a simple revenue was not enough to meet the cost. In some areas of Tamilnadu itself the film was a super flop and the distributors are sruggling to meet their cost. Later it is heard that the super star himself will help them to reduce their loss. Though the film was based on a theme the director failed to make it a success and to present it in that manner to take the audience in hand. The film is filled with Rajani Style and in view of an actor his performance was super. But the repetition or lack of innovativeness might have caused its failure. In the film both the female characters are under the shade of the superstar and nothing to do with the film. Music by A R Rahman also disappointed the fans and the high expectation of the fans and supporters were one of the major reason for its failure. But at the same time it points out one important thing that, during the reign of Maharajas they served the country with whole heart and there was no such corruption prevailed as now. Now a days leaders are seeking their safety and future and for that they use common people and public property as they like.
