The movie has been getting unanimous appreciation from all corners ever since its release on October 4.

Last day, the makers released a deleted video from the movie through social medias. It is a beautiful scene involving lead characters Ram and Jaanu happening to meet legendary playback singer S Janaki.

Besides Tamil Nadu, the movie emerged hugely successful in Kerala as well. It is one of the most profitable movies in the state this year.
