In May 2013, [[R.

==Critical reception==
A reviewer from [[The Hindu]] compared the film to Parthiepan's previous work adding "in ''KIN'', the director makes you wonder why he let his screenplay meander, why his characters lack depth, except for the superb characterisation of Rangarajan, Even though the story is loaded with all elements of an adult comedy and has scope for sensuality, the director deliberately steers clear of the temptation. But sadly, he does not focus on the narrative either".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/Koditta-Idangalai-Nirappuga-Owner%E2%80%99s-envy-neighbour%E2%80%99s-pride/article17040198.ece|title=Koditta Idangalai Nirappuga: Owner’s envy, neighbour’s pride|first=Chitra Deepa|last=Anantharam|date=14 January 2017|via=www.thehindu.com}}</ref> The Times of India wrote "''Koditta Idangalai Nirappuga'' is largely a miss, hitting the right notes only towards the end" suggesting it is "a hedonistic romantic drama with a climactic twist that lacks the zing such a genre-bending film needs".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/koditta-idangalai-nirappuga/movie-review/56558604.cms|title=Koditta Idangalai Nirappuga Movie Review {2.5/5}: Critic Review of Koditta Idangalai Nirappuga by Times of India|via=timesofindia.indiatimes.com}}</ref> A critic from Sify.com stated ''Koditta Idangalai Nirappuga'' "is yet another unique attempt by the film maker like his earlier ''[[Kathai Thiraikathai Vasanam Iyakkam]]'' (2014)" and that "Parthiepan tries to mix genres to dish out something different" but concludes "it leaves you exasperated".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sify.com/movies/kodita-idangalai-nirappuga-review--tedious-watch-review-tamil-rbotsbigdjjaf.html|title=Kodita Idangalai Nirappuga review- Tedious watch|website=Sify}}</ref>
