Reception
The Hindu wrote that the director "managed to present things in an entertaining fashion in spite of the familiar stories".[2] Krishna Chidambaram of Kalki praised Vadivelu's comedy, Vidyasagar's music, story writer for having climax which breaks formula and director for making second half interesting but felt Sarathbabu, Vijayakumar and Rekha were underutilised and panned Bala's acting as amateur, dance choreography and director for testing patience in first half.[3] Sify wrote "Udhayageetha Cine Creations that had produced a classy film like Thangar Bachchan’s Azhagi has come out with their second film Anbu which is far from entertaining. The film is in the same genre as the Raj Kapoor classic Sangam and K.Bhagyaraj’s Antha Ezhu Naatkal".[4]
Deepu went on to star in Nee Mattum (2004) also starring Vadivelu.[5]
