Release and reception
The film was released on 1 December 2006.[5] Malini Mannath from Chennai Online wrote that "The message if any, is wasted again, as [Kasthuri Raja's] target-audience (?) would be nowhere in the theatre".[6] Sify wrote, "[Kasthuri Raja] once again takes his usual route of sex, smut and sleaze with Ithu Kathal Varum Paruvam which looks more like a soft-porn movie".[7]
