Release and reception
Thazhuvatha Kaigal was released on 1 November 1986,[3] and distributed by Metro Movies.[4] Arbi of The Indian Express said Sundarrajan's direction "is thoughtful and even he does not make box office this time, he has no reason to be disillusioned".[5] Jayamanmadhan of Kalki wrote if Vijayakanth and Ilaiyaraaja were left out, the film is a murky stream with no direction.[6] At the 7th Cinema Express Awards, Ambika received a "special award" for her performance.[7][8]
