The Tamil version of the film began with Rs 3.85 crores on day 1 and has grossed about Rs 31.50 crore at the box office and has earned great word of mouth. The film is written by Vetrimaaran and is an adaptation of the novel penned by Jayamohan. The music has been composed by veteran composer Ilaiyaraaja while Velraj did the cinematography.
While the film is set in a heavy political backdrop, Vetrimaaran, like his other films, offers action and ‘masala’ for his audience.
