Reception

D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "An attractive title is made more attractive by the combined efforts of Manivannan, Kushbu and Karan in K.R.K. Movies ``Kalar Kanavugal.″ Strangely, the issue of love is settled by a long sermon the heroine makes in the end after Manivannan's money- making dreams fall apart. If this vital question had been put to the heroine by the hero earlier, all the 160 minutes of sitting through could have been avoided".^[6] Two years after release, the producers were given a ₹5 lakh (equivalent to ₹21 lakh or US$24,000 in 2023) subsidy by the Tamil Nadu government along with several other films.^[7]
