Release and reception

Kanavu Meippada Vendum was released on 14 April 2004.[7] The Hindu wrote that the film "takes up a socially relevant issue and tackles it with sensitivity."[2] Chennai Online wrote "It's a matter-of-fact narration and the style is documentary" calling it "a commendable effort from the director who's persistence in making meaningful films on social issues should be appreciated".[8] Sify called it "flawed and to a large extent rather disappointing."[3]
