It was released two days ahead of the Tamil New Year on 12 April 2002 and received mixed reviews, with praise for the performances of Vikram and Mani but criticism of Saran’s script. It won three Filmfare Awards, three ITFA Awards and four Cinema Express Awards. The soundtrack was well received, with the song \”O Podu\” becoming a sensation in Tamil Nadu. Later that same year, Saran remade the film in Telugu as Gemeni. It earned ₹210 million at the box office and became the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year. Its success, largely attributed to the popularity of the song, resurrected the Tamil film industry, which was experiencing difficulties after a series of box office failures.
