The film's lead actor J. K. Rithesh produced the film, and spent significantly on the marketing of the film.[2]
The film was released on 12 April 2007. A critic from ChennaiOnline wrote "it's not a hyped film or one that boasts of big names, but it has its light moments, and it's a much better crafted film than the director's earlier effort, Unakkaga Mattum (2000)".[3] A review from IndiaGlitz.com noted "though it is a beaten-to-bush story, Chinni Jayanth, with lesser known artistes around, has tried his best to come up with an engrosser".[4] A reviewer from IndiaReel noted "trying to present a serious movie on friendship, Chinni and new face Ritheesh have succeeded in giving a hip-roaring comedy film and tested the patience of audience in each and every scene".[5]
The film did not perform well at the box office.[6][7]
