"The best performance of the day. There was no music, yet it was sensational. Never before have I seen on stage, labor pains, child delivery and the suckling of the young in an animal. There was no tinge of vulgarity or obscenity. My special congratulations to Dhananjayan."

- Sivasankari, Indian Express, Jan 21, 1986
