Release and reception
Chinnanchiru Ulagam was released on 2 September 1966,[6] and distributed by Shanti Pictures.[7] The Indian Express lauded the performances of Ganesan and Nagesh, and Gopalakrishnan's direction, but felt his screenplay was formulaic. The critic also appreciated the music and lyrics.[12] Kalki called the film entertaining timepass, but felt one could expect better from Gopalakrishnan.[13] Despite facing competition from Thanippiravi, Saraswathi Sabatham and Thenmazhai, all released in the same month, the film became a commercial success,[14] and ran well particularly at the Madurai-based Thangam Theatre, which was once considered Asia's largest theatre.[15] Nagesh's dialogues became popular.[16]
