Reception

The film was released on 14 November 2001. Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote "Aandaan Adimai means well and if the incidents brought in had been presented with force the film may have made an impact." Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "Though one should commend the director for making a sincere attempt to tackle a controversial problem, one wishes the script was better crafted and the scenes had more depth". Visual Dasan of Kalki praised for handling the subject without any campaigning tone, Ilayaraja's music, Shankar's cinematography but panned the editing.
