Release

A reviewer from Rediff.com stated it was "movies like C J Reddy Enterprises' Balam, directed by Muralikrishna, make you realise how a film with an experienced cast can go haywire, thanks to a few silly elements that simply take away the joy of story-telling". The reviewer added "what's even more puzzling is what veteran actors like Rahman and Suhasini are doing in a film where there's no scope to flex even a little finger, let alone acting muscles".[3] The film had a low key opening at the Tamil box office and did not perform well commercially.[4]

gollark: Oh, neat.
gollark: That makes as much as sense as saying that people who don't believe in free will shouldn't have human rights, i.e. not much, and slowmode is annoying.
gollark: Well, you could measure your height in decimeters, then.
gollark: Imperial is wrong for height and of course for all other things.
gollark: > Imperial to metric conversions are not a problem if everything is in imperialImperial to imperial conversion still is.
