Release and reception
The film was initially scheduled to release in October 1998, two months after the release of the Karthik-Roja starrer Unnidathil Ennai Koduthen, to coincide with Diwali. However, it was delayed for four months and eventually released on 5 March 1999. D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "After gaining a lively pace in the first portion with humorous situations, Gayathri Films' Chinna Raja becomes a murder mystery. The twists director Chitra Lakshmanan (he also plays a brief role) employs, manages to pull the movie through".
