Critical reception Cynic of Mathrubhumi wrote, "Prem Nazir's perfect facial expression and uncluttered speech style is a special merit. The face of this young man has not lost its charm, and if he matures and gains more manhood, Prem Nazir may become one of the most important actors in Malayalam cinema." The film ran for 50 days in 7 release centers.
Remake The film was remade in Tamil as Pasiyin Kodumai. The Tamil version was not well received and was dubbed in Telugu as Aakali (1952).
