Release and reception

The film was released on 3 January 2007.[5]

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".[6] S. R. Ashok Kumar of 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".[7]
