Release and reception

Paadu Nilave was released on 15 May 1987.[8] The following week, The Indian Express wrote, "This thoroughly contrived storyline banks itself eagerly on the revenge element, and coming to think of it, its essential structure bears many similarities to last year's hit Amman Kovil Kizhakale."[9] The film was commercially successful.[10][11]

gollark: Apparently this person has no understanding of economics whatsoever.
gollark: I think we ended up not visiting any glaciers because the interesting ones were on the other side of Iceland and would have been too far to visit.
gollark: Iceland is pretty nice, from my brief time visiting there some years ago.
gollark: The UK is generally a reasonably okay country, although it has its own set of bizarre problems like most of them do.
gollark: Stop perpetuating the myth that Australia exists.
