Release and reception

After two years of making, the film was finally released on 14 January 2007 on the eve of Pongal with low publicity.

Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "For fans of Karthik it will be a let down. For neither the actor nor the film works at any level".[5] The Hindu wrote "Anything well begun raises expectations. A film that starts with an interesting scene makes the viewers sit up for a fairly sumptuous fare. Thus when `Kalakkarae Chandru' opens with a scene a la the famous `Kaun Banega Crorepati' one's curiosity is aroused. But as the film progresses one realises with dismay that it is about the one and only gripping segment. It is again a case of the director unable to make use of a good theme".[6]
