Release and reception
Pozhuthu Vidinchachu was released on 24 February 1984. Jayamanmadhan of Kalki praised the acting of Nambiar and Shanmugasundaram and noted Gangai Amaran should not have credited himself for story and screenplay for this same old plot and Ilaiyaraaja did not compose anything which stays in mind and concluded saying there is still the morning darkness and it is not quite dawn yet.
