According to historian B. Vijayakumar, Kulavilakku follows a trope that was common in 1950s/1960s Indian cinema: "The heroine struggling and sacrificing her life for the people she loved, even though they were not related to her".[3]
The music was composed by K. V. Mahadevan, with lyrics by Kannadasan.[4]
Kulavilakku was released on 14 June 1969. On the same day The Indian Express wrote, "The great asset of the film is the story [...] and the dialogue", and also praised the performance of the cast, particularly Saroja Devi.
