Release and reception

Pattampoochi was released on 21 February 1975.[6] The film was a success.[7] Kanthan of Kalki praised both the title and screenplay to be different, performances of Haasan and Jayachithra while also praising the film for breaking stereotypes of Tamil cinema by portraying the film's lead actor as traitor but felt the film's initial pace died down after the interval.[8] Kumudam wrote a big drawback is that even if the youth plays in the style of Bobby for a while, it eventually gets boring.[9]
