Production
Sanjay Ram made a series of quick action films in the mid-2000s, and moved on to his next film, Iyakkam (2008), before the release of Aadu Puli Aattam. The film was said to be loosely based on ex-rowdy from Tirunelveli, named Sadayan.
Reception
Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote that "in depicting the game between the hunter and the hunted, the debutant director is focused, and moves his narration at a racy pace", and added that "the director has chosen his cast well, with each character, even the ones in smaller roles, suitably placed".
A reviewer from Indiaglitz.com noted "a quick narration of events is the highlight of the movie" and that "Sanjay Ram has ensured that no momentum is lost anywhere in the film. The director seems to have done intense research about the presence of underworld in southern districts and got it right on the screen. The director can certainly feel proud for making an honest and sincere attempt, which is strikingly different from films of the same genre". Lajjavathi of Kalki wrote Director Sanjay Ram, who wanted to tell a compelling story, did not prepare the right screenplay for it.
