The film's story was written by Karthik's brother Ganesh. The soundtrack was composed by Ilaiyaraaja, with lyrics written by Vaali and Pulamaipithan. "The Indian Express" wrote "What begins as an average film soon turns into a fairly engaging one mainly due to the neat screenplay in the second half and absence of the boring moments". "New Straits Times" wrote "Though it is reminiscent of "Gentleman", the first half was at least easy to sit through with its light humour [..] The second half gets too serious and it is like sitting through another of those movies we have seen so often of the bad guys chasing the good guys".
