The film was released on 1 June 2012 alongside
Thadaiyara Thaakka,
Mayanginen Thayanginen and
Manam Kothi Paravai. Malini Mannath of
The New Indian Express wrote that "
Idhayam... offers nothing novel or exciting for the viewers". A critic from
Sify opined that "If you decide to see the film, go armed with loads of patience. For its dim-witted writing and sloppy direction,
Idhayam Thiraiarangam is ultimately a tiresome watch". ==References==
