Release and reception

Rangoon Radha was released on 1 November 1956.[5] Historian Randor Guy noted, "In spite of the formidable writing credits, excellent cast and outstanding performances, Rangoon Radha did not do well as one had expected. Perhaps the negative role of Sivaji Ganesan had contributed to its not-so-warm welcome".[6] C. N. Annadurai was besotted by the histrionics that Bhanumathi displayed in the film, and conferred upon her the title Nadippukku Ilakkanam vahuthava (The woman who wrote the grammar for acting).[7]
