Performance wise, Vinayak has done a decent job and the scene where he cries in the graveyard climax is noteworthy. The rest of the actors including Jayakumar, Karunakaran, RJ Ramesh and Karthik are just okay.
Technically, music composer K has given some hummable numbers and the background score for the last thirty minutes is pulsating. Overall, Mahabalipuram is yet another film with a message with too many hiccups.
