Reception edit
The Hindu wrote "WHAT COULD have been a thrilling action-packed film ends a damp squib, thanks to insipid treatment".[2] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "The screenplay has many loopholes, scenes are carelessly joined together, the director quite forgetting what he had depicted in his earlier scenes. The rest of the cast too hardly get any scenes to impress. 'Jaya' is a disappointing fare".[3]
