Reception[]

B. Balaji rated the film 1.5 out of 5 stating that : "Azhagesan, which although a remake of Malayalam film Karumadikuttan, seems more like a rip-off of the classic 16 Vayadhinile".[5] Movies.bizhat.com said that : "The film is an unmitigated endurance test for the audience" and concluded that : "the film is an amateurish attempt and is strictly avoidable".[6]
