== Reception ==
Sundarji of ''[[Kalki (magazine)|Kalki]]'' felt the antics of four lead actors are terrible but enjoyable in few places and also added it seems the producer Choudhary nodded the script because of its concept which was similar to the previous films he had produced. He also added that Sukanya and Napolean were wasted and called music a mere decoration.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=சுந்தர்ஜி |date=13 October 1991 |title=எம்.ஜி.ஆர். நகரில் |url=https://kalkionline.com/kalkionline_archive/imagegallery/archiveimages/kalki/1991/oct/13-10-1991/p39.jpg |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20220806065717/https://kalkionline.com/kalkionline_archive/imagegallery/archiveimages/kalki/1991/oct/13-10-1991/p39.jpg |archive-date=6 August 2022 |access-date=28 February 2022 |magazine=[[Kalki (magazine)|Kalki]] |page=39 |language=Ta}}</ref>
