Reception
The Indian Express wrote, "Sugamaana Sumaigal's narrative is disjointed and director Parthiban isn't able to convey what he wants to with cinematic style, but then, he picks up the camera bravely writes a story on it".[3] According to Parthiban, the "clean" film was rejected by audiences, prompting him to make his next film the more vulgar Ulle Veliye (1994) to compensate for the losses incurred from this film.[4]
