Release
Following the film's release in October 1999, it garnered mixed reviews. A critic from BBthots.com noted "there are no factors that would make me warn you to keep away from the movie, but at the same time, there is nothing here to make me recommend it either".[4] New Straits Times wrote "Nesam Pudusu is an unpretentious movie but directors Vel and Karthik manage to hold our interest".[5] 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."[6]
