Release and reception
editThe film was released on 1 October 1999.[5] K. N. Vijiyan of New Straits Times wrote "Nesam Pudusu is an unpretentious movie but directors Vel and Karthik manage to hold our interest".[6] D. S. Ramanujam The Hindu wrote, "A SLIGHTLY different villagebased story where an young pair is forced to live as married couple following turn of events which generates interest right through in Sivasankaralaya’s “Nesam Puthusu”. The directors Vel-Karthik, who are making their debut, bring in the right changes with song and dances and comedy track."[7] A critic for Dinakaran wrote, "Though it's a small budget film the story is an interesting thing that's treated in a spirited style. Directors Vel Karthik and producer Pandian deserve felicitation. A.Veerappan's comedy adds much to the film's success".[8] Sify wrote "This good story line suffers from bad acting of Ranjith while Priya does justice to her role".[9]
