Reception

Critical response

The New Indian Express gave the film a negative review and wrote that "Ayudha Porattam is confused issues, and misguided direction. A few more misadventures such as this, rather than resurrecting the hero’s dipping career, will on the contrary make it non-existent". Sify gave a similar review and stated that " The basic premise of the story is interesting but the screenplay and characters are half-baked".

Box office

The film was a dud at the Chennai box office.
