After watching Pasanga (2009), K. Selva Bharathy was inspired to make a film on similar lines. After seeing Yuvan's photos in a dubbing studio, Selva Bharathy decided to cast him in the lead. Yuvan plays the role of a rude man through the first half of the film and the reason for his character to act that way is explained in the second half.[3]
A critic from iFlicks wrote that "Director K.Selvabarathi has taken the film with children but failed to make it interesting. The confession scene which runs for five minutes gives a good social message. Songs are average in Srikanth Deva's music. Boopathi's cinematography is irritating" and criticised the acting of the leads.[5] A critic from Webdunia wrote that the sarcasm of "Verondrum Illai, Verondrum Illai" (transl. Nothing else, nothing else) could be heard in the theater. This does not meet any of the standards of a good movie. Overall, this is a joke, war, surgery, a joke, a leg-splitting, trashy movie.[6] A critic from Eniya Tamil called the film onum illai (transl. nothing), a play on the film's title. The critic criticized the film's acting and cinematography and felt that the film's music was okay.[7]
