Reception
The film had a huge hype prior to its release due to Tamil cinema veterans, K.Balachander and Bharathiraja, coming together for the first time together in a film. The film received poor reviews for its mediocre script, amateurish screenplay, acting and non-existing entertainment factor.[2][3] Sify labelled it as "a big bore", and The New Indian Express called it "Fairly neatly crafted, Rettai Suzhi is a clean, simple, warm entertainer sans overt glamour, double entendres or mindless violence".[4][5]
