Release and reception[]

Uravukku Kai Koduppom was released in 1975 and failed commercially.[6] Kanthan of Kalki criticised the film for omitting the entertaining parts of the play, and Mahendran's direction.[7] Despite the film's failure, Visu was impressed, and adapted the story into the 1986 film Samsaram Adhu Minsaram.[1]
