Release[edit | edit source]
The film won positive reviews, with a critic noting "the movie moves on without the usual cinematic trends at the start but to make the movie interesting, in the end, the director makes use of those trends. Yet, Thendral has jointly touched the audience with its absorbing story."[5]
