It was Sridevi's final Malayalam film and despite the star-wattage of Sridevi and Aravind Swamy, the movie didn't shake the box-office and it was mostly panned by the critics of that time. The only positive comments the film received back in 1996 - how gorgeous Sridevi looked and how incredible the music of the film was.
Highly recommend all Sri fans to check out the songs on YouTube.
BTW Sridevi age 33 here - the misogyny and sexism was intense in the mid-90s as critics (both men and women) were going and on about Sri being too old. A ridiculous argument perpetuated by the faulty press - and society - of the time.
