Release and reception

Ethirkalam was released on 21 February 1970.[2] The Indian Express wrote it "appears to be a film shot during different decades. It has so many stories in it that it is like a book of short stories, pleasant and unpleasant [...] It has all the ingredients that are mistaken for box-office success – car chase, stick fights, fist fights, romantic dance sequences etc."[3]
