Release and reception[edit | edit source]
Solvathellam Unmai was released on 23 January 1987.[4] On 6 February 1987, N. Krishnaswamy of The Indian Express said, "Good photography by Ashok Kumar in patches and realistic performances by Jaishankar and Poornam Viswanathan are the strong points of this film. The major flaw is Netaji's narration that lacks both clarity and conviction. There is an intelligent core to the story, only the storytelling is messy."[2]
