Release and reception
Tuvvi Tuvvi Tuvvi was released on 5 February 1999.[3] Jyothi Raghuram of The Hindu said, "Tuvvi Tuvvi Tuvvi [...] might not mark the resurrection of Raghavendra Rajkumar, but it certainly is a boost to the Kannada industry for the clean entertainment it provides. The story is different and original. the casting is thoughtful, music is not a letdown; and on this has been built an attractive edifice by veteran Singeetam Srinivasa Rao. What more could one ask for in a day of remakes and "masala" films."[4] S. Shivakumar of The Times of India said, "Tuvvi tuvvi tuvvi is not great cinema but when your nerves have been assaulted from 4 to Z, this film acts as an aspirin."[5]
