Reception[edit]

A critic from Ananda Vikatan wrote that the film was a world film made in Tamil.[7] A critic wrote that "Revelations, directed by Vijay Jayapal, was a movie with an impressive structure that deftly handled complicated thoughts and emotions".[8] A reviewer from Kumudam wrote that Lakshmi Priya's usual acting is none other than that from the opening scenes to the end, there are tougher and tougher scenes. The critic added that without editing, the commercial film genre is going to stop and relax. They also said there are very few dialogues in the film's story and Chetan and Lakshmi's acting in it is unique in its short duration".[9]
