Release & reception

Pillakkaga was released on 14 April 1989, Puthandu. The Indian Express wrote "Imposing angles and neat and tangy cutting building up much interest and tension initially but it is overdose of sentiment that director P. Vasu plumps for in an attempt to woo women to his film."[5] Despite facing competition from other Puthandu releases such as Apoorva Sagodharargal, Pudhea Paadhai and En Rathathin Rathame, the film was declared a Hit at the box office. [6][7] It was dubbed into Telugu as Police Tiger.[8]
